1/2 Fat, Less Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

My sister came up with this idea on accident. While making chocolate chip cookies one day, she decided to double the recipe, but forgot to double the butter. And the crazy thing is, they turned out great.
And a long time ago, I decided to cut the sugar back when I made cookies, because we just can't handle the taste of so much sugar. I played around with amounts, and finally fine tuned it-- enough sugar to be a yummy cookie, but not so much you can only handle one!
Another piece of advice-- I usually freeze about half of the cookies, so we have premade cookies ready for later. They seem to taste just fine after they are thawed!
