Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies

     Ingredients:

·         2 tablespoons salted butter or margarine, softened

·         2 teaspoons vegetable oil

·          In a small bowl, mix together flour and baking soda and stir into batter.  Add chocolate chips and mix in completely.

Note from testing the recipe:  It was much easier to use a full teaspoon or a small spoon to scoop the cookies instead of the 1/2 teaspoon.  It still yielded about 30 cookies that would be approximately 60 calories each, which is still pretty good for a cookie! -Hannah
