How to Make Very Tiny Lower Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup canola oil, 1 large egg, and 2 large egg whites using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips using a spoon until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded 1/2 teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats (no need for nonstick spray).
  7. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even baking. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
