Sometimes you just need a little something sweet.

Hello friends! I have another recipe for you, on the complete opposite side of the apple pielet spectrum. These are low fat, low calorie, chocolate oat cookies! I live a very healthy lifestyle so these fit just a little better into what I would eat everyday. I'm a firm believer in treating yourself with a little something every day so you never feel deprived. Delicious cookies like these allow me to do that, and maintain a clean lifestyle!

Don't they just look scrumptious? They certainly are! With only 190 calories per 2 cookies they're definitely a steal.


Low-Fat Chocolate Chippers!
Barely adapted from Skinnytaste


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) or lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend. In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.

Fold in chocolate chips.


Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.   

Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.

Makes 2 dozen! YUM!
