ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup margarine
1 tablespoon margarine
³⁄₄ cup brown sugar
2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg)
¹⁄₃ cup low-fat vanilla yogurt (or plain yogurt plus 1 tsp vanilla extract)

Mix in the cocoa, coffee crystals, and baking soda.
Finally add in the cinnamon and flours; mix well.
Roll into teaspoon (or so) sized balls. If you feel it is needed, cover and chill dough 2 hours to firm it up (I have never had a problem with dough stickyness and therefore don't chill the dough).
Place dough balls about 2" apart on cookie sheets.
Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes until edges are firm.
Yield 45 small cookies.

These were pretty good cookies. I made them gluten-free by using a blend of rice, buckwheat, tapioca, and corn flours. I really like the blend of dark chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon! They were a bit fragile but I'm sure that is because of my flours. Thanks for posting.

Baked these for PAC 2006 - Thanks Luv 2 Bake - they were so easy to put together and delicious!!! And, bonus, low fat too!!! As you suggested, I added more coffee and I think I will add even a bit more next time I bake these!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to. I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption. I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga. I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.
