Puffed up chocolate chip cookies

You guys, these cookies are so delicious!!!! They are super easy to make and super low calorie. YAY! 

My fiance even had a few and he is usually hard to please on the healthy food dessert train. Thanks to Lane and Lucy for tasting while we watched Game of Thrones. 


I found this recipe on Cooking Light but I tweaked it a bit.
