C is for Chocolate Chip Cookies (Foodie Fridays!)

With the cool weather we had this week it got me in the mood to do some baking.  I decided to make some Low Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies from this recipe.  They are the best low fat cookie i've made.  You can't even tell the difference.

Hershey Dark Chocolate chips

Parchment Paper...highly recommend no need for any

cooking spray and the cookies slide right off.  I use

this also when making homemade pizza

Melon baller another must have.  Easier than a spoon

and you get the perfect size cookie with no mess

Skinny Low-fat Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 egg white
• 2 tbsp apple sauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.  Line two cookie sheets with non-stick silicone baking liners such as Silpats (I highly recommend for best results), parchment paper or lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. 

Makes 2 dozen cookies. Per cookie: 61 calories, 1.5 g total fat, less than 1 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 11 g carbohydrates, 1 g fiber, 9 g added sugar, 2 g protein, 37 mg sodium, less than 1 g cholesterol.

 I haven't made these in a while.  I like a chewy cookie.  Today mine came out a little crispier than I like but still good.  I recommend baking 8 minutes for a chewy cookie and 10 min for a crisp cookie.


Happy Friday!
