Mocha Cookies

Ingredients required:

½C. margarine, at room temperature

2 Tbs. sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

1/3 C. liquid sugar substitute

1-¼ C. flour

3 Tbs. cocoa

2 tsp. instant coffee

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ C. raisins

¼ C. chopped nuts

2 large egg whites, at room temperature

How to Make:

Mix together the following ingredients, margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and sugar substitute to combined mixture and mix lightly. Stir together flour, cocoa, coffee and baking powder to blend. Add to Combined mixture and mix at medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until blended. Add raisins and nuts to dough; mix lightly. Add egg whites to dough; mix until egg white is adsorbed into dough. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil or sprayed with pan spray. Shape dough into round cookies about 1/4-inch thick, using fingers and dipping in cold water. Spread dough carefully because the finished cookie will be the shape of the dough after it is baked. Cook in the oven at 375F for about 12 minutes, or until dough springs back when touched. Transfer from hot cookie sheet onto a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
