Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies

I used to make chocolate chip cookies ALL THE TIME!! Now I'm getting older and need to watch fats and cholesterol, etc. These reduced-fat cookies will substitute nicely when a cookie craving hits ya!

They use no eggs and only half the fat (a butter/Crisco mix) whereas the cookies I loved to make had 2 sticks of fattening, artery-hardening butter (1 Cup). Low-fat/fat-free plain yogurt substitutes for the missing egg and cuts the fat by half.

They aren't quite the gooey, crispy but chewy cookie of their less healthy cousin, but they are delicious, crunchy and moist. They even passed the "kid test" as my daughter loved them.

The last few cookies were scraped from the sides of the bowl, so I added some M&Ms to the tops prior to baking to account for their lack of chips. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know.
