2572.0. "COOKIES: Good for You C-Chip Cookies" by CURIE::LATVALLA () Mon Aug 13 1990 15:15

    At a cookout this weekend I had some wonderful chocolate chip cookies
    -- that are 'good for you' (as far as chocolate chip cookies go). 
    Ingredients include yogurt, oatmeal (and of course, chocolate chips).
    
    Does anyone have this recipe?
    
    Thanks!

2572.1Here's my version of the cookieCLOSUS::COPELANDMon Aug 13 1990 15:4625
    I have a recipe that I adapted myself from the regular Toll House
    recipe. I cut the fat in half and replace it with yogurt, and also
    cut the sugar to almost half.  The chocolate chips provide plenty
    of sweetness.  These are really good and are also a good source
    of fiber!  They are a little more cake-like than regular chocolate
    chip cookies.  
    
    Here's the recipe:
    
    1/2 cup margarine
    1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
    1 cup brown sugar (packed)
    3 egg whites
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup whole wheat flour 
    1 1/4 cups flour
    3 cups oatmeal
    1 cup chocolate chips
    
    Cream the sugar and margarine until fluffy.  Add the yogurt, egg
    whites and vanilla.  Mix until smooth.  Add the flours and baking
    soda.  Stir in oatmeal and chocolate chips.  Bake at 350 degrees.
    Eat right away!

    RE .1
    
    The cookies sound great, but I'm a little confused by the amounts of
    whole wheat and white flours and oatmeal.  5-1/4 cups total sounds like
    a *lot* to me--how many dozens does this batch make?
    
     
2572.3Yogurt makes cookie dough thinnerCLOSUS::COPELANDThe Quilt Fair is ComingTue Aug 14 1990 10:167
    The amounts of flour are the same as the regular recipe.  Because
    of the yogurt, the batter is much thinner than regular cookie dough.
    It usually takes the 3 cups of oatmeal.  You could add one cup at
    a time until it reaches the consistency you like.  The recipe usually
    makes about 48 cookies.

    	I made this recipe for my sons pre school class I doubled the
    recipe except for the oatmeal I only used about 2 cups total, as
    opposed to six cups I don't think I would've liked them much with the
    stated amount of oats. Give it a try again but cut the oatmeal down. It
    would probably cut down on the cardboard taste.
