Hey, everyone, I’m Bonnie, the new Girl in town. I’m here to encourage & teach you how to make food FROM SCRATCH! “Why bother?” you ask. Because you’ll save a ton of money AND eat healthier. That’s why.
So Mother’s Day is fast approaching (Note to my kids: it’s THIS Sunday!). We moms love homemade gifts and we love chocolate. Do you see where I’m going?
I have a yummy chocolate cookie recipe that’s low-cal and easy.
Okay – deep breath. You can do this!
LOW-CAL CHOCOLATE DELIGHTS – I made 43 cookies
- 2 egg whites
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 tsp vanilla
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
Beat egg whites just until they become stiff (when the peak that forms when you lift up the spatula doesn’t collapse). With beaters going, add in sugar a tablespoon at a time. Whites will become glossy.
Scrap the batter clinging to the beaters into the bowl. Pour in the chocolate and vanilla, and gently fold everything together using a large spoon. It’s okay if it’s a little streaky – they look pretty that way.
Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
Spoon batter onto greased or nonstick cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes.Remove from oven and let cookies set 2 minutes on hot sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Store in airtight container.
