 Low Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies!Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chunk-Nut  "Zero Cholesterol Cookies"

1 cup brown sugar                                                   

1/2 cup white sugar

10 tbsp. vegetable shortening (about 1 cup) Warning ++ Vegetable Shortening has partially hydrogenated fats.
 A non hydrogenated margarine could be used in place of this.   You will add cholesterol, but in my opinion a better alternative than PH Fats.

2 1/4 cup unbleached flour

2 egg whites

1 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

1 cup chocolate chunks

1 cup walnut pieces

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Beat egg whites, add in shortening, both sugars and vanilla, mix in a large bowl. Combine baking soda and flour, add to cookie batter 1/2 cup at a time beating until blended. Fold in chocolate chips, chocolate chunks and Walnut pieces until well mixed. Roll into balls - flatten in hand like you would a hamburger patty, place on ungreased cookie sheet; or you could drop by rounded tablespoon for a less uniform cookie.

Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chunk-Nut Christmas Cookies Cut-Outs:  Prepare dough ahead of time, make balls of dough, refrigerate overnight wrapped in wax paper. When ready to prepare take wrapped dough out of the refrigerator one ball at a time, lightly flour wax paper and hand shape the dough to a flat round piece of dough, to get a more consistent piece of dough you may flour a rolling pin and lightly roll out dough. Use Christmas cookie cutters to cut out dough in shapes of Christmas trees, stars, bells, etc.

Quick and Easy Christmas Cut-Outs: after dough is refrigerated following directions above to cut out dough in shapes of Christmas trees, stars and bells-- place shaped cookie dough in the freezer on a baking pan. Once frozen pop off pan and place in a freezer bag or other freezer container. If you have unexpected guests, simply preheat oven, take cookies out place on a cookie sheet and bake. Have fresh baked cookies anytime using this method.
