Another chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yes, I’ve gone there (and I’m sure this won’t be the last time).   Would you believe that this is a healthier version though? A few weeks ago, I challenged myself to learn more about healthy baking and to try healthier dessert recipes (a personal goal for improvement, so to speak).  That might mean one new recipe or 100, only time will tell.  I still must remain true to myself and let’s face it…  I’ll be where the chocolate is.     😉  I began racking my brain to try to come up with a new …
