Best Cookies Ever (w/low-cal version...)

Ok, so I've been making these cookies for years now and altering the recipe in the most bizarre ways to create the yummiest (and as low-cal as I could make them) cookies, so enjoy!!

Mix with Mixer:
2 eggs (1/2 c. egg beaters)
3/4 c. white sugar (3/4 c. Splenda)
1 c. brown sugar (1/2 c. Splenda brown sugar mix)
1 c. butter (1/2 c. butter and 1/2 c. applesauce)
2 tsp. vanilla

Add by hand, stirring:
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 c. flour (or 2 c. flour and 1/4 to 1/2 c. almond meal - warning: this will boost the calories, but make the cookies so so moist)
2 packs maple & brown sugar INSTANT oatmeal (for low-cal use the LOW SUGAR version)

1 package semi-sweet choc. chips (or 1 package cinnamon chips, add 1 tsp. cinnamon to first part of recipe if you use those)

Chill before baking for about 10 min.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350.

Low-cal version: about 84 calories each (no almond meal)

If you make these the yummy NOT low-cal way and you don't want to do the oatmeal, add an additional 1/4 c. white sugar and 1/4 c. flour.

Also, I've added 1/4 c. peanut butter and it's so yummy... Enjoy!!
