Low calorie Choc. Chip cookies.

I found this recipe and it has been a great snack when craving cookies.

The way I make it they turn out to be about 25 calories per cookie.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons margarine (I use I can’t Believe it’s not butter, fat free)

5 tablespoons plain non-fat yogurt

1/2 cup sugar (I use Splenda)

1/4 cup light brown sugar (i just use regular brown sugar)

2 table spoons cornstarch

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 table spoons skim milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Beat margarine, yogurt, sugars, cornstarch, applesauce, milk, and vanilla until well mixed

2. Then add flour and baking soda/powder, and salt, beat until smooth- then add choc. chips.

3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

4. Bake at 350 for 6-10 minutes until lightly golden brown.
