Lower Fat Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (Ww)

Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Note:

I needed to make some cookies that wouldn't interfere with my trying to cut back on my fat intake. A friend passed on this recipe which she said was from Weight Watchers. If you make 40 cookies, it is 1 point each (I'm not sure what the Points Plus Value is). And yes, they are small cookies, but very fudgy and delicious!

• Total Time: 22 mins
• Prep Time: 12 mins

• 2 large egg whites
• 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chip

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. (Do not pack flour when measuring).
3. Beat butter and brown sugar with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy; gradually add granulated sugar, beating well. Add cocoa and egg whites, beating well. Gradually beat in flour mixture until blended. Stir in chocolate mini chips.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls (about 3/4-inch balls to get 40 cookies) onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.

I love chocolate! Oh my gosh fantasticly soft and fudgy tasting! They fixed my chocolate craving without so much guilt! These were great! I added a 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour in place of a 1/2 c of a/p flour for extra fiber and nutrition in which I added an extra tablespoon of canola oil to the recipe. These were great and my kids loved them and didn't even know the difference! This is a keeper! Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow these are really good! I had to recalculate the points because I couldn't believe they were only 1 pt each! They are small but they are delicious. Pleasantly surprised =o)

Great fudgy cookie! I did alter it a bit. I quartered the recipe and got 6 small cookie scoop sized cookies. Instead of 1/2 egg white I used 1 1/2 T. eggbeaters. When I calculated points on my recipe they came to 2 pts. each. I'l keep this recipe!
