"Healthy" Chocolate Chip Cookies......don't be frightened

A far cry from my normal fare, these are actually healthy. Or as healthy as a chocolate chip cookie can be. I admit, I have been off sugar for 2 weeks today (with one discrepancy on girls night out), so these may taste better to me because of that. Any-who, they are a great "clean eating" recipe for satisfying the sweet tooth. Just make them under supervision, they are still 110 calories apiece :)
