...I think it hardly makes a difference anymore that they are low-calorie. I guess it is better than eating 10 chocolate-chip cookies with average caloric amounts. Anyways, one day my inner health freak came out and I decided to try something better for me. Now, I want to clarify that just because I like desserts does not mean that I endorse eating them to extremes or not making them a part of a healthy diet. That is why it is important to make healthy changes to your cooking, like swapping out a recipe for normal chocolate chip cookies for one like these. Now, mine did not turn out fantastic and I blame the fact that I made them way too big and accidentally added a bit of egg yolk where it only calls for the whites. But they still tasted really good! Hence why I had a bit of a problem with the portion control...though, they are only about 60 calories a cookie!
What's Inside:
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
-1 egg white
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 cup flour
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 cup chocolate chips
How to make them:
1) In a large bowl, combine the flour, and baking soda and stir to blend.
2) In a separate bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
3) Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended.
4) Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets coated lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 -10 minutes.
5) Remove from the oven, and let stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
Lessons Learned:
-Make sure that ONLY the egg white gets into these
-Ensure that you make them small- it should make about 24 whereas mine were way too big and I only got about 15
