Yes, you CAN have chocolate chip cookies and still have a low calorie diet!

So, in my searches, I normally don’t look too much at the sweets recipes.  I think it’s much safer to just stay away….however I came across a low calorie chocolate chip cookie recipe…and I have to say that they came out quite good.  Here is the recipe:

Beat together 3TBS of margarine (softened), 5TBS of plain yogurt,  1/2 cup sugar (i used splenda), 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 2 TBS cornstarch, 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 2TBS of skim milk, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.  When you beat these together it does turn out with a few lumps in it….it’s okay.

Then add 1 1/2 cups of flour (i used wheat cause I ran out of white), 1/2 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt and beat until smooth (i used a fork here because it got a little thick).

Then add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips–I used the mini’s.

Drop by spoon fulls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 6-10 minutes, or until lightly brown.

There you go!  They were really good, my hubby even liked them.  But, I imagine they would be even better if you use white flour.  But be careful!  Even though they are low cal…don’t eat too many!!
