Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free or regular, low fat) Feb 22

These cookies are light and airy and are low in bad fats
(if you leave out choco chips lower in fat). They can
be made either gluten free or with regular flour. The largest base ingredient of the cookie is chopped pecans. I think they are a great cookie

In the bowl of your mixer place
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tablespoon gluten free flour mix (or 2 tablespoons regular flour)
Mix to blend
Add one at a time
3 Egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
When fully incorporated mix on high for 2 minutes

Chop 2 cups Pecan to a fine consistency (I use my blender)
add to the sugar mixture.
Add also 1 cup chopped dried cranberries
Add also 1 cup semi sweet chips (optional)
(if you want chocolate flavor without as much fat, Place 1/4 cups choco chips in blender before you do the nuts and grind to small pieces then chop the nuts with the chocolate and add as normal)
Mix to incorporate ingredients


Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 375 until no longer wet in the center Remove and cool. They will stick if you do not use parchment or a liner, and if you grease the pan they will sag badly.

A great treat for anyone who can't have wheat, or for anyone for that matter.
