SWEET AND CRUNCHY LOW-FAT COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, mix sugar and the margarine together and beat until creamy with no lumps. Add egg whites and mix together until well blended. Add flour and blend until incorporated.
• Divide into 1-ounce balls and press the dough balls into fluted brioche tins or cookie molds. Place into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. (Take care NOT to burn). Unmold and set aside to cool on a rack. Store in an air-tight container until ready to use. Stores up to 1 month in a container or 3 months sealed and frozen.
• Place the ricotta in a bowl and whip in the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Put the filling in a pastry bag with a star tip and set aside.
• Fill each cookie shell with 1 ounce of the sorbet and form a teaspoon size ricotta star into the center of each cookie. Garnish each cookie with a mint leaf.

MY LOWER FAT MARTIAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• With a mixer blend the butter and applesauce. Add the sugars and the Splenda and beat well. It will never get fluffy and it might have little specks of butter in with the applesauce. This is just fine.
• Add the egg whites and the vanilla and mix well.
• Add the 2 flours, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and the salt. Using the low setting on the mixer blend in the flour.
• Using a spoon add the oatmeal, zucchini, and chips. (I ran out of chocolate and used more butterscotch. Use what you would like to end up with 2 cups of chips).
• Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until they are starting to brown.

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!).
