Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

It would be the understatement of the year to say that I love chocolate. I ADORE chocolate! However, I am a diabetic, so I have had to do a little extra looking to find cookies with high chocolate content but low carb content. I am proud to say that I have found such a cookie! :) These are so good (whether or not you're diabetic)!





Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ( 1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Sugar substitute equal to 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In medium bowl, beat butter, sugar, and sugar substitute until well blended. (That should take about 3 minutes.)
- Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Alternately add milk and flour mixture to butte and sugar mixture, beating until well blended between additions.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press flat.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until set.
- Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack and cool completely.
