Chocolate Chewy Cookies

Preheat oven to 350.

In a medium bowl, combine:

1 3/4 c. flour
2/3 c. powdered sugar (sifted)
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 T. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

In your microwave, melt:

4 oz. of your favorite semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped into bits (I used Dove dark chocolate)

Pour melted chocolate into a large bowl and let cool. Stir in:

1 c. packed brown sugar
3 T. apple sauce or babyfood prunes
1 T. vanilla extract
3 egg whites (lightly beaten)

Mix well.
Stir in flour mixture. Drop by tablespoon on to cookie sheet lined with parchment or lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake for eight minutes. Cool 2-3 min. on pan.

If you make 36 (3-doz) cookies, each is about 75 calories.

However, total recipe is 2675 cals, so divide the number of cookies you make into that to find your calories-per-cookie.

Make sure not to overbake. The texture should be chewy and a bit harder than a soft cookie. I made bar cookies rather than drop cookies, and I think I baked mine for 18 min at 350, but I could have probably done fine with 15 min.
