After I baked them I took this picture of me holding out the cookie and sent it to Ron with a caption saying "hurry home so you can taste my cookies!".. or something of that sort. :0)
For these teeny little delicious cookies you will need:
2 TBS of butter
2 tsp of oil
1/2 C. of packed brown sugar
1 tsp of vanilla (again- at the risk of sounding like the Barefoot Contessa- use a high quality vanilla if you can!)
1/8 tsp of salt
1 egg white
1/2 C. of flour (I usually use equal parts whole wheat and white but use what you have/like)
1/4 C. of oatmeal
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 C. dark chocolate chips
1/4 C. white chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375
Sift dry ingredients and add the remainder. I could do step by step instructions but isn't that kind of boring? Let's talk about the fun stuff instead.
Because my version includes oatmeal in place of part of the flour- these cookies get all thin and crispy and sort of delicate like lace when they bake! Also by adding two different kinds of chip flavors/colors they are more visually dynamic!
Here's the catch! Because it's a weight watchers food... they're TEENY!! (but they get bigger when you bake!) Usually a recipes says to drop "rounded teaspoon fulls" but these you drop only a half a teaspoon.
Bake them for about 5-8 mins or until they get all golden and crispy.
Here's the best part! TWO cookies = ONE point!!
Who has a silpat? Oh my goodness are they wonderful!! Our very good friends the Cakebread's or "The CB's" as Ron and I often call them- gifted us two of these babies for Christmas. What is a silpat you ask? It's this dreamy sheet of silicone that creates a non-stick cooking surface for anything you're baking!! CHeck it out! Get one (or 3 or 5...!!) http://silpat.com/
