LOW FAT CHOCOLATE CHEWIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F and place oven racks in the middle positions.
• Line one or two sheet pans with foil or kitchen parchment. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the salt to a soft peak stage (when the tops of the peaks fall over when whip is removed).
• Add the sugar slowly, beating until the mixture is very thick.
• Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and chopped chocolate.
• Place walnut-size mounds of the batter on the sheet pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until dry on the surface but still soft inside.
• Slide the foil or parchment with its cookies onto a cooling rack and cool for 5 minutes.
• Peel the foil or parchment off the still-warm cookies and cool them completely on rack.

THE BEST LOWER FAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cream the butter and both sugars in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add the egg, egg whites, salt and the vanilla. Beat well.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, ground oatmeal and baking soda). Slowly add the dry items into the larger bowl and beat with electric mixer until batter is smooth and creamy. Fold in entire bag of chocolate chips, and if you like add the walnuts.
• Drop dough by large teaspoons (or scant Tablespoons) onto cookie sheet and bake for 11 minutes (the time REALLY depends on your oven so watch that first batch!).
