Recipe Introduction


You can indulgewith these sweetly spiced gems, which have less than half the calories of traditional homemade cookies such as chocolate chip.


List of Ingredients




Guiltless Cookies


Mexican Chocolate Sugar Cookies

1/4 c stick margarine or butter, softened
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp grated orange peel (optional)
1 lg egg white
1 tsp instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tsp water
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt



Recipe



1. In a large bowl, beat together the margarine, sugars, and orange peel, if using, until well combined. Beat in the egg white, coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add it to the sugar mixture, and stir by hand just until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap or wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until well chilled.

3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/8" thick, and cut it into 2 1/4" rounds with a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place the cookies about 1" apart on a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
