Close... but not quite close enough. They make a big deal about this being a low fat chocolate chip cookie that doesn't taste like one, and it almost is. The use of dates and browned butter gives a nice flavour note and compensates somewhat for the lower amount of butter in these cookies, but still you can tell that there's something missing from them.

Compared to the New York Times chocolate chip cookies (Google them for the recipe) that caused a bit of a stir the summer of 2008, they're obviously lacking. Fat tastes good, and it's hard to compensate for that.

My preference is to make a full-fat cookie, but make it smaller. A recipe that supposedly makes 18 cookies can easily make double that or more if you restrain yourself.
