Hi Dawn - I make my coleslaw dressing with 1 part mayo and 2 parts nonfat Greek yogurt. Flavor it up with freshly squeezed lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, celery salt and a little bit of sugar or honey.

Hi Lynn - here is Food Network Kitchen's basic chocolate cookie dough recipe
Classic Chocolate Cookies
Beat 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 1 stick butter until fluffy, then beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; stir into the butter mixture. Chill 30 minutes, then roll into balls and bake 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Hi Randy Lay -
Great question! You can definitely get away with using a vegetable-oil based spread instead of butter, but you might miss that true butter flavor and the sauce would lose some body. The cholesterol will come down a bit but the total calories will stay the same. If you try it, let us know how it comes out. Thanks for your comment.
