Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Occasionally we all need a sweet fix. With a few substitutions to a traditional recipe you can make the treats you love a little better for you. Below is a healthier recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Instead of white flour use whole wheat and instead of butter or shortening use fat free cream cheese. If these cookies are not over-baked they will be soft and chewy. Please let me know what you think!

¾ c granulated sugar
¾ c packed brown sugar
8 oz package fat free cream cheese (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla
2 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
¼ c liquid egg substitute
1 c chocolate chips
non-stick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the cheese and sugars together then add the vanilla and egg substitute. Mix in the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips. After the dry ingredients are incorporated fold in the chocolate chips. Drop cookies by spoonful onto a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 12-14 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet in 2 minutes with thin spatula and cool completely on a cookie rack. Makes 24 cookies; 141 calories each.
