Low Calorie Low Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I latched onto this recipe in the hopes of finding a sweet treat my 8-year-old would love and still have a minimal amount of fat and sugar. I modified the recipe some, using Splenda instead of sugar, Egg Beaters (with yolk) instead of egg, and Smart Balance margarine. I also baked them in a pan instead of making individual cookies. The result was a cake-like cookie bar that my son really liked. If something is borderline, he'll take one bite, say it's good, and then never touch it again. He ate several of these.
