Recipe(tried): Mrs. Field'S Low-Fat Chocolate Cookies

These cookies showed up at a get-together...they were quite good so I asked for the recipe.

MRS. FIELD'S LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

2 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients together in bowl and set aside.

On low speed, mix sugars together; gradually add oil, applesauce, egg whites and vanilla until smooth and well mixed. Add dry ingredients blending just until combined. Chill at least 1 hour or till firm. About 15 minutes before removing dough from refrigerator, preheat oven to 300F.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart lined with parchment paper. Flatten dough slightly and sprinkle with mini chips. Bake at 300F for 18 minutes, do not overbake. Cool on wire rack. Cookies will get crispy when cooled.

Makes about 5 1/2 dozen cookies
