Instructions: I finally had to give into the chocolate chip cookie craving I had, but I managed to make them much lower fat. I used the regular recipe on the chip package, (the 6 ounce bag), omitted the butter, and subbed half as much applesauce (1/2 cup butter= heaping 1/4 cup applesauce) and used half the chips (3 ounces) and chopped them a little. The package said one table spoon of chips was 4 grams, and I used about 6 tablespoons. I also baked them as bars instead of cookies. I used a smaller pan than called for, because it was a smaller recipe than the full-sized bag of chips would have been. I used an 8x8 and set the oven for the recommended temp, but started checking a few minutes early to make sure they didnt burn. they were really excellent, and totally worked for satisfying the craving. I cut them into 8 bars and figured them at about 4 grams per bar, and these were pretty big bars. If I get a minute I will try to write down the actual recipe, but the point is, if you make cookies and want to sub applesauce for butter, use about half as much
