Wholesome Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup whole wheat flour, or half white and half wheat
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

First melt the margarine or butter.  Some folks do this in the microwave, but I prefer do it in a small pan over low heat on the stove.  In a large bowl combine the margarine or butter, brown sugar and yogurt.  Add the vanilla and mix everything very well with a wire whisk.  Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt.  Add the chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly.  Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.  Dip the bottom of a flat cup into water and then use it to press the cookies flat.  You have to do this becaue the cookies don't have enough fat to spread the way cookies normally do. Bake at 350°: 10 minutes for soft cookies or 15 minutes for crisp cookies.  Cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheets.  Makes about 3 dozen.  Use 1-tablespoon of dough for each cookie.  They are very good; my boys adore them, even though they're healthy.

Makes 36 cookies.
