What goes best with a rainy day??? Something yummy from the oven!!!
I decided as I was driving home in torrential rain today that I needed some homemade chocolate chip cookies. I recently came across yet another Skinny Taste recipe from my favorite site, www.skinnytaste.com, and this time it was for "skinny" chocolate chip cookies.
This may be the easiest and most delicious healthy chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted.
THERE IS NO BUTTER IN THIS COOKIE!!!!
*Start by pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium size bowl, combine the following ingredients with a whisk:
*1/3 cup granulated sugar
*1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
*1 egg white
*2 tbsp no sugar added applesauce
*1 tsp vanilla extract
In a small bowl combine the following and stir to mix:
*1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
*1/2 cup all purpose flour
*1/2 tsp baking soda
*1/8 tsp salt
Combine your dry ingredients in with your wet ingredients a little at a time. I find that it works best to use a fork to combine as it will get pretty thick.
Stir in a 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips:
You will want to use a very well greased cookie sheet because of the fact that these cookies don't contain butter they will stick if the pan is not well greased. I like using my Silpat liner, which should also be sprayed to avoid sticking.
Bake your cookies for 8-10 minutes, although I found I had to bake mine for about 12 minutes. It is best to leave them on the cookie sheet then for about 2-3 minutes before trying to remove the, or they may not be quite as round!
We also made these into little ice cream sandwiches, which was also great!
Although, making it into an ice cream sandwich takes the "skinny" out of it :)
