Vanilla Frosted Fudge Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light olive oil
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Four egg whites, not beaten
2 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons skim milk
Additional unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Spray large nonstick cookie sheet with vegetable oil spray. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside. Mix together oil, sugar, 1-teaspoon of the vanilla and egg whites until well blended. Stir in flour mixture. Chill dough one hour.
Using a 1/2 tablespoon measure, scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving two inches between cookies. Bake eight to ten minutes or until cookies are puffed and cooked through. Do not over cook.
Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely. Mix together the powdered sugar, skim milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until pasty. Add skim milk if necessary. Spread a small amount of vanilla frosting on each cookie. Put the cookies back on the rack, dust lightly with cocoa powder and allow frosting to dry.
