Actually I might not end up with much fat. Here is the recipe.

Ingredient - grams fat - grams carb
2 cups sugar - 0 - 400
1/2 cup vegetable oil - 109 - 0
4tbs oil - 54.4 - 0
12tbs cocoa - 8.88 - 1.3
4 ounces melted unsweetened chocolate (not used)
(cool)
2 tsp vanilla - 0 - 1
4 eggs(8 egg whites) - .45 - 1.87
2 cups flour - 2.45 - .68
2 tsp baking powder - 0 - 0
1/2 tsp salt - 0 - 0
1 cup powdered sugar - .12 - 117

Mix sugar, oil, chocolate and vanilla. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in flour,
baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Heat oven to 350. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls into powdered sugar, roll
around to coat Shape into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on well-greased
cookie sheet. Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched,
around 10 to 12 minutes. ABOUT 6 dozen (a lot) (don't bake too long)

This would mean I would use 1/2 cup oil and 4 tbs of oil. This would mean 164g fat. This make 72 cookies so 2.28g fat per cookie which is under 21 calories from fat which would be way under the 25% mark. This doesn't include the cocoa though.

For the heck of it I decided to break it all down and here it is.

Total Fat - 175.3 - Calories = 1577.7
Total Carb - 521.85 - Calories = 2087.4

Total Calories = 3665.1
%fat = 42%

Fat per cookie = 2.43g or under 22 calories
Calories per cookie = 51

It might work. I didn't include protein calories and you can probably get by on 3/4 to 1/2 the oil.

I might just have to try this because these were my favorite cookies of all time.
