Revamped, these gems are still ooey-gooey good — but they're only 80 calories each (with a gram of healthy fiber per cookie). We've also cut out half the fat and cholesterol you'd find in this treat's calorie-laden cousins. Lose the guilt — and indulge!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup trans fat–free vegetable oil spread (60% to 70% oil)
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg white
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
• 1 cup bittersweet (62% cacao) or semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In large bowl, with mixer on medium-low speed, beat sugars and vegetable spread until well blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Add egg, egg white, and vanilla; beat until smooth. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt until mixed.
3. With wooden spoon, stir in oats and chocolate chips until well combined.
4. Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoons, 2 inches apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake cookies 12 to 13 minutes or until golden. With wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.
5. Repeat until all batter is used.
6. Store cooled cookies in tightly sealed containers up to 3 days.
