Chocolate Cookie Bites
Originally posted on January 7th, 2007 8:46 pm
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/8 tsp cream of tarter
- ¼ cup of sugar
- ¼ cup of splenda
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use ¼ cup of dark and ¼ regular)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla (or almond extract)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Beat egg whites and cream of tarter on medium until frothy and soft peaks form. Add in ¼ cup of sugar VERY slowly and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Sift ¼ cup splenda, cocoa powder and salt together and fold into egg whites with extract.
Drop teaspoons of mixture on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake for about 20 minutes in a 300 degree preheated oven. Cookies will come out soft and chewy, if you would like create Crispy Chocolate Cookie Bites bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Here is the good news! They are about 1 point for 3-4 cookies! They are only about 20 calories a piece with NO fat! The recipe makes about 25.

I made these this weekend and my husband and I loved them. We thought they tasted just like brownies.

Ronnie,
How about celery and salsa. You dip your celery into the salsa and that is only 1 point and it kills the taste of blah celery!! and for that matter, any vegetable with salsa

I’m on day 6 of counting points. These chocolate cookies saved me yesterday!
They are so moist and fudgy. They really are great! Thanks for the recipe.

Hi, love this recipe but i’m not much of a baker and my cookies turned out flat. Very tasty, but they look nothing like your picture. Any suggestions??

@Nicole - It’s all in the egg beating. That’s the secret. It took me a few times to get it too.

Ugh… I must be a horrible cook. Mine turned out clumpy and I could only get about 16 small cookies out of the batch. They are gritty too. Darn! The picture looked so good too!!

@Lindsey - You can’t have ANY yolk in the whites and those “peaks” are important. It’s a tough recipe.

Anyone tried sweet-n-low or equal, etc. instead of the splenda? I can’t have splenda, but these look great

Awesome!!!! I quickly shared them with 2 of my friends who are on ww too. The only problem is my 11 year old daughter loves them too..is it OK to be selfish and hide them when i make them!?

Not sure what I did wrong.. I made them tonight and had stiff peaks and all, but mine only made about 15.. but they are delicious and so chocolaty! I am assuming they are more calories per cookie though :O(… how many do ya think?

Update: they’re done cooking now and they ‘grew’ to be quite bigger than when I put them in. So maybe I just used ‘large’ teaspoons. I’ll make them smaller next time ;o).
Also, I didn’t have cream of tartar and looked up a substitution, the same amount of white wine vinegar worked.
Just made them! Very good. I don't think I made them correctly, but my kids *LOVED* them. They're a great alternative to chocolate! I like mine a little chewy so next time I'll probably put them in the oven for ~18min. Great recipe!!!
Good News - I ran the recipe through the recipe builder and for 25 cookies, 5 servings (5 cookies per serving) they are 1 point! Yey!
Thanks Lola!
what a great receipe. being a chocoholic i have to say these were delicious. i must have made them bigger than i was suppose to because i didn't quite get 25 of them. chewy & crispy... both ways are wonderful!!!! - oh and my kids loved them too! thank you thank you thank you!!!
I don't want to use splenda, any ideas on how much sugar to use as a substitute?
Thanks for your help!
Joni
Joni - 1/4 cup should work fine. I have also reduced my splenda intake since posting this recipe. This holiday season I'll remake without splenda and repost!
Since starting Weight Watchers,I always visit your site for a daily dose of inspiration!!! Thanks for all the great recipes and tips :) Can I make these cookies without the cream of tartar or any substittions for it?
Lev - There is no exact substitute, but you can try a pinch of salt instead. Salt has a less stabilizing effect.
These cookies were so good! I made them a little smaller and got more than 25.
