Dark Chocolate "Drop" cookies

.




Finally a Chocolate Chip cookie that is low in calories and very "Yummy".
We both love Chocolate Chip cookies, but found that most traditional recipes were very rich and tended to be in the hardly never category;
I have spent off and on about 2 years trying to come up with a cookie that was low in calories and looked like and tasted like a cookie that could be enjoyed without feeling like 2 cookies would take care of lunch and supper as far as calories were concerned.  The following recipe made in this manner is very low in calories and fats plus just as simple to make as most traditional recipes.

.
Ingredients: (for 1 dozen cookies)
.
2-cups Jiffy Baking mix
1/2- tbs real vanilla extract
1-cup dark chocolate chips
1-tbs special dark coco powder
1-cup splenda
1/4-cup non-fat milk

.
Directions:
.
In a mixing bowl add all ingredients and mix with a fork until you have a very stiff dough; very much like traditional cookie dough, if the dough is too stiff add just a little more milk or water (the dough should cling to the fork) If it is too thin add a little more Jiffy Mix. Now prepare you cookie sheet, since there is very little fat in the dough you should spray you cookie sheet with a non-stick spray.  Using a spoon that is soup spoon size place 12 globs of dough on the cookie sheet about 1-inch apart and bake at about 350-400 degrees until the cookies are starting to brown on the bottom (about 15 mins ) remove when done and let cool 15 mins.
That's it !! ENJOY
