How to Make Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) margarine, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop rounded 1/2-teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
