Ok, before we even get started, let me point out that these aren’t exactly the healthiest treat ever. However, they have been improved from the original 501 calories a cookie to 406 calories per cookie, so at least they are not as bad as the original version. Still, these are good cookies, so I had to tell you about them. Everyone needs a good chocolate chip cookie recipe, for those ever so occasional moments. This recipe makes 12 BIG cookies, so be prepared to share with 11 friends.

½ cup light margarine or butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

¾ cup granulated sugar replacement

4 egg whites

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup fat free sour cream

 2 ½ cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 pkg (10 oz) chocolate chunks

¾ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter & sugars on low speed until fluffy. Add egg whites, vanilla, and sour cream. Beat on med-high speed for 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Blend for 30 seconds. Stir in flour until well combined. Stir in chocolate chunks and pecans. Mix just until combined.

Use a ¼ cup measuring cup, fill to heaping and put dough about 3 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Each cookie sheet should have 6 cookies on it.

Put cookies sheets on the two center racks in the oven. Bake 15-16 minutes, switching the cookie sheets (top to bottom) halfway through. Let cookies cool of 1 minute before removing them from the cookie sheets.
