Diabetic Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

Normally, chocolate chip cookies are loaded with fat and sugar. So what makes this a healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe?

For starters, this chocolate chip cookie recipe uses ingredients like applesauce and egg white to trim the fat content of these cookies. Next, I use white whole wheat flour to boost the fiber content. And finally, I use dark chocolate chips -- which not only provide a richer flavor, allowing me to use less sugar, but they are also high in antioxidants.
