A Healthy Twist on Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi guys, its Jessie! In this recipe I take the classic chocolate chip cookie and alter it to make it a little healthier, yet still really yummy!  I brought these cookies to a party I went to and everyone loved them. What I did was substitute wheat flour for white flour, and cut down on sugar and butter. My family said that the cookies still tasted really good!
