Better For Your Heart Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Low Fat Recipe

Indulge your chocolate chip cookie cravings without the guilt! These unbelievably delicious cookies are made without butter or whole eggs, yet deliver incredible chewy texture and rich chocolate flavor. Inspired by a Cooking Light recipe, I've perfected this recipe to be almost as good as Toll House, but significantly healthier. Using honey instead of corn syrup and the optional addition of virgin coconut oil for a subtle, yummy flavor boost, these cookies are perfect on their own or as ice cream sandwich cookies. Their low-fat nature means they stay delightfully chewy, even after being frozen! Skip the chilling step – it works perfectly without it! #lowfatcookies #chocolatechipcookies #healthiercookies #chewycookies #vegancookies #glutenfreecookies #cookinglight #icecreamsandwiches
