desserts | These cookies are reminiscent of those famous caramel-and-chocolate candies but with one catch: They contain much less fat.
1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup reduced-calorie margarine 1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese 1 large egg white(s) 2 Tbsp fat-free skim milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 sprays cooking spray 24 piece caramel candies 24 pieces pecan halves
Instructions
1. Combine flour and cocoa in a small bowl; set aside. Beat together sugar, margarine, cream cheese, egg white, milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl; add flour mixture and blend well. Chill dough at least 30 minutes, or until firm. 2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on baking sheets about 1 to 2 inches apart. Press a caramel into each cookie and flatten; top each caramel with a pecan half. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
