I tweaked a recipe to try and make chocolate chip cookies less bad for you. I can't say they are healthy, but this recipe makes them less evil. My family expects a fresh baked, home made cookie once a week. With this recipe I feel less guilty, although I have to admit, this recipe makes less than my typical several dozen. Maybe that's a bonus too. Less cookies to consume overall! Chocolate Chip Cookies- Low fat
1/3 C brown sugar
1/3 C white sugar
2 T melted butter
3 t vanilla extract
2 egg whites
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 1/4 C flour
1/3 C chocolate chips
1/4 C chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. With an electric mixer, mix sugars, butter and vanilla until well blended. Add egg whites and mix 2-3 minutes on high. Add in baking soda & salt. Slowly add flour, chips and pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet. If you don't have these, use non-stick spray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Makes 18-24 cookies depending on the size of your spoonful. The size in the photo made 18. They came out very yummy considering there isn't very much butter in them, and they still tasted like typical chocolate chip cookies.
