Surprisingly, these cookies turned out with the texture and taste of it's full fat version. Who knew? Using a egg white and only two tablespoons of fat, we didn't feel guilty about tasting the dough right out of the bowl, or sampling the 2/3 chocolate chips before they reached the bowl. This is the way you are supposed to spend a snowy work day from home day? Our are sure to thank us...if they get any that is.

ReplyDeleteI don't eat white chocolate. But this is a good recipe and I can substitute milk chocolate for the white.
Yum! Cookie and coffee are good for a snow day.

Oh no! We don't eat white chocolate. White was referring to the White House. We are dark girls. :)
