CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's So-Good Chocolate Chip Softies!
Chippity Do Dah!
There is a time and place for everything, people. And the time is NOW for
chocolate chip cookies at the HG HQ!!! We've developed a recipe for extra-
soft, chocolate-chip-packed cookies, each with a POINTS® value of 1*. Our
doughy double C creation is actually more like a hybrid of cookies, soft
snack bars, and muffins! And unlike some other cookie recipes that yield four
dozen cookies and require several baking pans (who needs FOUR DOZEN
cookies?!?), our recipe makes exactly eight chunky soft cookies for your
chewing pleasure! What are you waiting for? Grab the chocolate chips and
flour... STAT!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
6 tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
2 1/2 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. brown sugar, not packed
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients
except for the chocolate chips (flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking soda,
and salt). Mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients
(applesauce, pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract). Add this mixture
to the dry ingredients, and stir until completely blended. Then, fold in the
chocolate chips. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray, and spoon
batter into 8 evenly spaced circles. Place pan in the oven for about 10
minutes (until cookies appear done and feel firm). Remove pan from the
oven and allow cookies to cool slightly. For best results, enjoy while the
cookies are still warm and the chips are still melty! MAKES 8 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, Average
Cookie Monster
Although we haven't conducted any official research on the subject, we're
fairly certain that NO ONE ON EARTH is immune to the call of soft and chewy
chocolate chip cookies. They're DELICIOUS. Sadly, 200 calories and nearly
double-digit fat grams for a cookie the size of your palm is a little
outrageous. And 200 calories is a very CONSERVATIVE average. There are
so many oversized ones out there, it's frightening. Snag a chocolate chip
cookie at Starbucks, Quiznos, Panera Bread, Boston Market, or Carl's Jr.,
and your super-sized, chocolate-chip-studded friend will cost you 350 - 450
calories and 15 - 22g fat (POINTS® value 8 - 10*). Even the reasonably
sized cookie on the Wendy's menu weighs in with 270 calories and 12g fat
(POINTS® value 6*). But be strong. With HG's So-Good Chocolate Chip
Softies!, you'll never have to waste hundreds of calories on a single cookie
again. Chip chip, HOORAY!
