Ingredients

3/4 cup Packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

12 ounce Reduced fat baking chips

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the oil spread, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
6
Stir in the reduced-fat chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
7
Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers still look slightly soft.
9
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
