Chocolate Chip Cookies

At only 88 calories, have one of these guiltless morsels, or two. Store up to one week in an airtight container--if they last that long. We suggest keeping a dozen in the freezer for emergencies.Unlike other chocolate chip cookie recipes, this one calls for egg whites instead of whole eggs. This minor substitution cuts back on fat and cholesterol. Serve these gooey treats with a glass of fat-free milk.
