So you can tell in the last couple of recipes we are in a bit of a baking mood. Well, we also want to do it smart. So this recipe is low in fat (the chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 egg) and is pretty tasty.
We took these cookies also to the Two Cities Marathon in Fresno for great carb-loading.
