Best Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever



Skinny Low-fat Chocolate Chip Cookies 
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 12 • Size: 2 cookies • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 5 pts
Calories: 170.7 • Fat: 5.0 g • Protein: 1.4 g • Carb: 34.5 g • Fiber: 1.4 g • Sugar: 25.4 g
Sodium: 113.1 mg

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 cookies.

If I build it.....

I love scarfs, purses, belts, rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets

........it's just that sometimes I buy and never wear.

So I thought maybe if I build it, I will wear it.......

I bought this dress form from ABC Distributing many moons ago. Not sure why I bought it, but decided it would work great for my scarfs, belts and long necklaces.

I have a ton of bracelets.....and saw this on PINTEREST
(it's a paper towel holder)...works great !

This I bought at a garage sale, all it was doing was gathering dust sitting on the shelf

........so I put it to good use !

WOW - Monday already.....amazing how fast the weekend goes!!

THE GOOD.....the good definately had to be Friday - I have some girls that I volunteer with at the women's shelter - and while we don't do alot of things together - one thing we do every year is attend the BYRON NELSON GOLF TOURNAMENT. We pick one hole, plant out behinds in our chair,sit,watch, talk, eat, drink and have the best time. People watching is amazing, not to mention the fact that we are attending a major sporting event. It was a good day.....

THE BAD....My oldest son called to let me know that one of his best friends from high school had lost his mom Sunday morning. This is always a bad thing. It was unexpected and my heart goes out to him.

THE UGLY....I CLEANED house and I do mean CLEANED. My hard work left me in some major pain. What was I thinking? I think I waited to long, hoping some little house cleaning fairy would come along and lend a hand.....hoping and wishing...

Now it is a new week, and I have a 3 day weekend to look forward too! We will be heading down south to see my oldest grandson play teeball and spend some family time with my son and family. Can't wait!!

Happy Monday......
