Chocolate Crisps

Here is a diabetic friendly snack!


When you need a chocolate fix, these rich-tasting morsels will do the trick
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 ounce finely chopped unsweetened chocolate, (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Confectioners' sugar, (optional)

Preparation

1.Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2.Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan until the butter is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in sugar. Add egg white, flour, cocoa, unsweetened chocolate, vanilla and salt and whisk until smooth.
3.Drop the batter by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until set in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. (If the cookies begin to stick before all are removed, return the pan briefly to the oven.) Dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar if using.
