Maple Syrup Sweetened Chocolate Chip Cookies

On our way to New Jersey I ordered a few bags of chocolate chips made by the author of my diet book of choice, The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler. Sarah’s grandmother caught me eating a few of the chips and gave me a firm reprimand. She said I better make her some cookies, so I did. Here is the recipe I used.
