Half way towards the weekend and all I have been wanting lately is cookies. I have already made 2 batches of reader’s favorite OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES and after eating way too many cookies with milk, I knew I had to make a healthier version which still tastes the same but instead of 2 cookies, I can may be eat 4 without feeling guilty. You see where I am going with this?! 😉

So I worked with the classic old fashioned cookies recipe I got on the blog and made them healthier. I must admit I was little worried at first because whole wheat flour makes everything dry but not these cookies! The key here is to NOT TO OMIT  butter completely from cookies as it provides them moistness. So I kept butter but reduced the amount of butter. These are our new favorite chocolate chip cookies and the fact that they are a bit healthier, makes them a top choice!

Now I got my cookie fix and now I am excited for this weekend as we are expecting our friends to visit from Chicago. It’s been ages since we saw them and everytime we meet, there is so much to talk and so many things to do. It’s their first time visiting Colorado and since there is so much outdoor stuff to do here, I have a long list of things I want to take them to and make them try these cookies!

They are so perfect just warm out of the oven studded with chocolate chips. Soft and chewy cookies with a tall glass of chilled milk makes them my favorite late night snack! How many of you can relate to this kind “not so healthy” late night snack?!

    Do you know what the nutritional stats are for these?
    I’m mostly curious what the total calories are.
