I baked some chocolate chip cookies at Christmas following the from Crisco
sticks (just my preferance of the best recipe)
I substituted the brown sugar with Twin Brown Sugar and the sugar with fake
sugar from Fifty/50, you could use Splenda or whatever you like. I didn't
substitute the fat as I was experimenting with the sugar but they do make
fat substitutes you can buy at the grocery store. The cookies were great
and no one knew the difference. There was a slight difference in taste to
me but that could just be me postop and it was really slight.

Not an answer...SORRY! I was wondering the same thing. Isn't there massive
sugar just in the chocolate chips? I looked for sugar substitute choc.
chips but didn't find any. In the diatetic section of my grocery store they
had a bag of no sugar added choc. chip soft n chewy type cookies by Sorbee.
I haven't tried them yet. They are made with mannitol which is a sugar
alcohol. It was reasonable w/ fat and 100 cals for 1 large cookie. When I'm
on solids next week I will have 1 as a treat. If anyone knows where to get
those sugar free choc. chips...let us know.

I haven't tried it yet, but I was told that you can use unsweetened
applesauce instead of oils or other fats in baking and a good sugar
substitute instead of natural sugar.

I don't know about the chocolate chips--surely there are some available out
there somewhere!--but the applesauce thing DOES work great! You can use any
kind of baby food fruit puree for different tastes. Banana nut bread is
great because the bananas make it really moist. Prune puree is really good
in baked chocolate stuff. I know it sounds gross but it tastes really rich,
not pruney. I have also used apricot for some things where you want a more
distinct taste. I don't know about for cookies, but definitely for breads
and cakes. Somebody also had said there was a protein powder you could cook
with. I am envisioning a banana-nut loaf with protein powder for a
high-protein, carb-tasting snack. YUM!

There is a company called Sunspire that makes grain-sweetened chocolate
chips, peanut butter chips and vanilla chips. I've only found the
chocolate chips, but they are PHENOMENAL. I've used regular cookie
recipes, and substituted turbinado sugar for the white sugar, and also
turbinado sugar plus sugar-free syrup for the brown sugar. See my profile
for more recipe information.
