Mini Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies
It did not take much to create a skinny chocolate chip cookie recipe. All I did was take one of my favorite cookie recipes, replaced the sugar with SPLENDA Naturals, and made the cookies themselves a little bit smaller portions. I wanted to try making healthier versions of some of my favorite treats – starting with Chocolate Chip Cookies. Not only did we make them smaller, but we cut out a few ingredients and added some healthier ingredients like SPLENDA Naturals Stevia and applesauce instead of oil. The result was a mini cookie that tastes just as good as our regular version!! After I made this skinny version, my husband came and ate a cookie, and was blown away when I told him afterwards that they were made with a 0-calorie stevia sweetener. He could not tell a difference at all! And to be honest, neither could I! We are so excited to try natural stevia in even more of our favorite treats.
How to Make Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
These were so simple to make, the kids even helped. For this recipe, we ended up using:
butter applesauce brown sugar SPLENDA Naturals Stevia 1 egg flour baking powder baking soda salt vanilla chocolate chips
MIX. Since we’ve been using SPLENDA Naturals Stevia more, we usually have it on hand with all the other ingredients. To make the cookies, we first combined the butter, applesauce, brown sugar and SPLENDA. ADD. From there we added the egg and beat until fluffy. We then added the vanilla and dry ingredients followed by folding in the chocolate chips. BAKE. After that we rolled the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, added a few chips and top and baked at 350 for 5-6 minutes. The cookies turned out fabulous, and we felt a little less guilty eating them too!
Storing Tips
Mini chocolate chip cookies can be made ahead of time, but we recommend making it right before if possible. If making ahead of time, be sure to refrigerate until read to make into cookies. Let the dough come to room temp a bit before rolling into balls. To STORE cookies, place in a Ziploc bag or cookie jar. To FREEZE mini chocolate chip cookies, like most cookie doughs, we recommend rolling into balls first and then freezing.
