Chocolate Chips

Unless you're prepared to give up chocolate chip cookies altogether, or until great tasting, low fat chocolate chips become available, making lower fat chocolate chip cookies will always be a challenge. Assuming you cut the quantity of butter and use egg whites to lessen the fat in the dough, what can you do about those sinful chocolate chips?

Use mini chocolate chips instead. This way, you can cut the quantity called for in the recipe {by up to half) but make those mini chocolate chips go just as far. To compensate further, you could add some cocoa powder to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe to intensify the chocolate flavor without adding any more fat.
