Half-Point Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got this recipe from Weight Watchers since I'm on the plan. They are very satisfying and won't bust your point count for the day. If you're not on Weight Watchers, this means that they're low fat and low cal. That being said, you're not supposed to eat the whole entire batch.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp butter, softened
2 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp table salt
1 large egg white(s)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, about 1/2 cup
1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  2. Cream together butter, oil and brown sugar. Add vanilla, salt and egg white, and mix together thoroughly.
  3. Mix together flour and baking soda. Add chocolate chips and stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Try not to eat all the batter before baking the cookies.
  5. Drop rounded half-teaspoons of dough onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake cookies for 4 to 6 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. They're so delicious that I doubt you'll be able to cool them for that long before diving in.
Yields 2 cookies per serving (yes, that's 1 point for two cookies! Yeah!!) .
