These are totally yummy....I have a serious sweet tooth, and there's just no way i'm going without a chocolate fix every day...I found this recipe in a company's coming cookbook, i'll give it to you the way it is in print, and i'll let you in on some tips to cut the calories and fat even further, and my kids don't even know it!

2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1 box chocolate cake mix
3 skor bars, or chocolate/white chips, really whatever you want to add

mix it all together, drop by tsp, 350 degree oven for 10 minutes let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, move to a rack

48 calories a cookie, 3 grams of fat, this was made using the skor bars

Now, I used 1 large egg and two egg whites, I also replaced all but 11/2 tablespoon of the oil with prune puree...I use the baby food jar type, it's cheap and convenient, we also used chocolate chips and mini marshmallows

our version came in at 35 calories a cookie, 1.5 grams of fat
and 38 calories with the few marshmallows

this recipe made 45 nice sized cookies, that are all gone...and we just made them, the younger kids couldn't even tell there were prunes in the cookies

    I thought that as well, until I ate 4 lol...oh well...they were worth it! I couldn't believe how good these were....there was no difference between the recipe version and my cut-back version, as far as taste or the way they baked, which is always a plus, cause you never know whats going to happen when you tweak a recipe :tongue:

    I use fat free plain yogurt in place of oil in most of my baking. it makes them light and very yummy

    By putting "bump" you are basically just replying to the thread so it gets "bumped" to the top of the list...make sense?
