100 calorie cookie recipe

You know how sometime you see a new-to-you product in the grocery store and immediately toss it into your cart? No hesitation. No looking at the price tag. You just gotttttaaaa have it. And you know what? I’m not gonna lie. The minute I saw the new DelightFulls filled morsels from Nestle I squealed. I’ll admit that squeal became a piercing scream when I was contacted to created a recipe for them using the product. LIKE WHAT 😯 . Ok. No problemoooo.

And thus, Fudgy Dark Chocolate Mint Cookies were born.

These would be perfect to bring to any cookie exchange or holiday get-together. I would absolutely love to bake up a big batch to take to the annual one my friend Erin puts on, but I’ll be in Japan with my family eating sushi instead. I guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through you guys 😉 .

We aren’t talking your normal, run-of-the-mill cookie here. I want you to look deep into the dark, chocolate-y swirls of brownie-esq goodness. Do it. You might see your soul in them. Then, please divert your eyes to that gorgeous minty frosting that’s swirled to perfection. It’s light as air and, with one bite, you’re transported to minty-sweet heaven. Angels are singing. And see those pretty mint-stuffed chocolate chips crushed on top (yes, you read that correctly…. these chocolate chips are filled themselves with delectable flavor)? The crunch and extra texture complement the fudgy brownie cookie and silky mint frosting like whooaaaaa.

Are you drooling yet? Release the flood gates!

When I say healthy, I mean healthy in terms of cookies. Because really, what’s a cookie without a little sugah and buttah? Can you even call it a cookie without the two?

So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to take just a leeeettle sugar and buttah, throw in whole wheat flour and heart-healthy oats, and top everything with dark chocolate and walnuts. The result? The BEST “healthy” cookie ever. Seriously.

I had my “assistant” helping with my cookie baking today. And by helping I mean eating.

Kyle was just filled to the brim with compliments for these cookies and I don’t know if it was the sugar or what, but he was especially expressive with his feelings for my baking today. Imagine me sitting at our kitchen table, trying to get some work done, with Kyle next to me, glass of milk and cookie in hand.

“I really really really really like these.” (Yup, 4 whole “reallys”.)
“I’m on a cookie high!”
“LOOK HOW GOOD THIS BITE LOOKS”
“Cookie eyepatch. I’m crazy!!”

The boy has good reason to love them so much, though! These cookies are ridiculously good and you can’t taste the reduced sugar or whole wheat flour in the least! They have the most wonderful hearty and fluffy texture and are bursting with walnuts and fat chunks of dark chocolate chunks. Honestly, they don’t taste healthified in the slightest and they may just be my new favorite cookie. And for only 100 calories each? That means you can stuff 5 in your mouth!! Uhhhm. YES PLEASE.

Make these. I promise you’ll love them :).

Today I’m linking up with WIAW to share these tasty cookies! Head on over for more great eats!
