Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
What can a diabetic (dieter) do when craving that delicious taste of chocolate?
I say "indulge"...yes you can eat chocolate and it will not raise your blood sugar; that is if you don't eat too much. I know it's hard to stop when these cookies are so delicious but I trust you to have the control you need and know when to stop. Eat these cookies slowly, while still warm, and let the chocolate melt in your mouth.
Makes 1 dozen
1 cookie= 1 serving
Ingredients:
Cooking spray
3 Tbsp butter (or heart-healthy margarine)
3 Tbap sugar substitute (Splenda)
1 egg white
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup enriched all-purpose flour*
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/8 baking soda
