Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies

I HAVE NO PICTURE!!

But, I promised to post these tonight, so I am putting the recipe up anyway. My friend Cheri made these for me and all the life group girls (from our church) and wrapped them up all cute and included the recipe. I typically don't DO low fat desserts. No thank you. I would rather skip a treat or eat one with all the fat and calories so I can enjoy it. However, this one does not disappoint in taste, texture or the fact that they are only 2 weight watcher points for me each! Woo! Hoo!

The reason I have no picture for you is because when I made mine today, they turned out super flat and all melded into one another-ish. That's not what Cheri's looked like. The flavor was still exactly the same as hers, so I can only imagine I needed more baking soda or something? I don't know. I know I added it in according to the recipe, but I am going to try it again and cross my fingers.

They are not cakey or weird like a lot of the low-cal stuff you can eat. These taste like a true treat and I will make them again. When I do - I promise to post a good picture with this recipe.

But - here it is. Go make it and tell me how yours turned out! I'm excited to hear!

Skinny Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 C granulated Sugar
1/2 C Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 egg white
2 Tbsp applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C. Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (for local gals - I just went to Mama Jean's and bought a little bit for the recipe from the bulk section. Perfect!)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 C mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350, Line (2 cookie sheets) with parchment paper

In Large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; sitr to blend. In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, applesauce and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until batter is well blended. If batter looks crumbly, not smooth, add a drop of water (I didn't have to do this)

Fold in chocolate chips

Drop by level spoonfuls 1 inch apart

Bake 8-10 minutes.

Transfer to wire rack after cooling on sheet for 5 minutes.
