Mini Chippies

These tiny treats are perfect when you want just a little bit of sweetness without a lotta bit of calories. The trick to portion control with these cookies is to use a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon when dropping the cookie dough onto the baking sheets.

Don’t forget to make the milk fat-free!

Recipe:

(adapted from the recipes found on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse and Ghirardelli chocolate chip bags)

  • 2 1/4 cups unsifted flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 bag good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips

    • Instructions:

    Heat oven to 375ºF. Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat margarine with sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color.  Add vanilla and almond extracts, mix well. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Mix on low speed until incorporated. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 minutes or until golden brown.

    My children love chocolate chip cookies so this is definitely a recipe I would make with them on a family night! Do you have a healthy cookie recipe for macaroons? Those are my favorite.
