Mini Chocolate-Chip Cookies

I was thinking about these on the drive in. It's been a long time since I've made them. But now that the memory is in my mind, perhaps I'll make up a batch soon...

Mini Chocolate-Chip Cookies
2 Tbsp butter, softened
2 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp table salt
1 large egg white(s)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, about 1/2 cup

Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, cream butter, oil and brown sugar together. Add vanilla, salt and egg white, and mix together thoroughly. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake cookies for 4 to 6 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
Makes 24 cookies - 1 WW point each


Sometimes when I make these cookies, I'll scoop the batter into my mini-muffin pans (Pampered Chef), with my small scoop (Pampered Chef), and then freeze them. (After they are frozen, I take them out of the pan and put them in a freezer-safe baggie and then back into the freezer.) That way I can bake just a few at a time and have them in the freezer ready when I need a little sweet treat. These are also sometimes called "1 Point Chocolate Chip Cookies"...a classic Weight Watchers' recipe.
