Eating health for some people means sticking to a strict diet; for others, it comes down to how long they can last before submitting to familiar cravings. Take it from me, dieting isn’t easy, and it’s always a work in progress. However, completely giving up on a diet should never be an option. What’s wrong with cheating every once in a while? In my opinion, it gives you a little room to breathe and much more room for improvement.

Listed below is a simple recipe for a familiar treat. The good news is that they only have 88 calories!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 10 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large egg whites
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cups (level with a knife) and add it to a large bowl.
3. Now add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
4. In a separate large bowl, combine sugars and butter; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add vanilla and egg whites; beat 1 minute.
5. Finally, combine the mixtures and add chocolate chips; beat until blended.
