SHAPE cookies

I don't know about you, but when I see a cookie recipe in a magazine like SHAPE, I just have to try it out! These babies only have 108 calories and 5 grams of fat for 2 cookies!!!! NOT BAD in my book. I was happy to see they had some thickness to them, not flat cookies. Hey, if they are good enough for cookie monster, they cant be bad healthy cookies. He cant even tell the difference with less fat.

From SHAPE

3/4 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup extra-light olive oil
3 TBS. room temp unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*. Spread oats on a baking sheet and toast for 10 mins. Remove and turn off oven.

Meanwhile in a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat together oil,butter, and sugars with an electric mixer. Add egg, egg white, and vanilla, beating until well combined. Fold in oats, flour mixture, and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350*. Place rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 11 mins, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
