Chocolate Chip Cookies – small batch

Name: Chocolate Chip Cookies - small batch
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 dozen.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup reduced-fat margarine; 3/4 cup sugar; 3/4 cup packed brown sugar; 2 eggs; 1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 1-1/2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

“I came up with this recipe myself,” writes Bethany Thayer of Troutville, Virginia. “After trying several low-fat chocolate chip cookie recipes that were puffy and cake-like, I experimented some and came up with these.” Good-for-you walnuts give them a great crunch, too.

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-fat margarine
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

In a large bowl, lightly cream the margarine and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.

Editor's Note

This recipe was tested with Parkay Light stick margarine.

I should have read the list of ingredients first. These are definitely not a small batch cookie! Even using an ice cream scooper, the recipe made nearly four dozen. They are very smooth and more puffy than a traditional chocolate chip cookie, but flavor is good.
