Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These little cookies have big chocolate flavor, and even though they’re a Weight Watchers recipe, they use all real ingredients; no artificial sweeteners or crazy substitutions (I’ve tried making chocolate chip cookies from Rocco DiSpirito’s healthy cookbook using cannellini beans instead of flour and no matter what he says, they do NOT taste like real cookies). I thought these were good and one or two of them definitely satisfies a chocolate craving. The recipe makes 40 small cookies, so be prepared to share!
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 40 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp table salt

- 2 large egg whites
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Stir flour (unpacked), baking soda and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and brown sugar together and medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beat well. Then add cocoa and egg whites, beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips by hand.
