Recipe Summary Healthier Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Carrots are not normally found in cookies, but they act as a great natural sweetener while adding moisture. I also replaced half the chocolate chips with dried cranberries. These cookies are tasty and a good source of fiber.

½ cup butter, softened

¼ cup non-fat plain yogurt
