Go ahead, indulge a little. You can with these sweetly spiced gems, which have less than half the calories of traditional homemade cookies such as chocolate chip. They were created by Julie Van Rosendaal of Calgary, Alberta, who lost 165 lb while eating cookies every day. Her secret? "I changed how I eat--how much and how the food is prepared--not what I love to eat," says Julie.

1/4 Cup stick margarine or butter,	-1 tsp water
-softened	2 Tsp vanilla extract
1/2 Cup granulated sugar	1 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar	1/2 Cup cocoa powder
1 Tsp grated orange peel (optional)	1 Tsp ground cinnamon
1 lg egg white	1/4 Tsp baking soda
1 Tsp instant coffee, dissolved in	1/4 Tsp salt

1. In a large bowl, beat together the margarine, sugars, and orange peel, if using, until well combined. Beat in the egg white, coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add it to the sugar mixture, and stir by hand just until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap or wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until well chilled.

3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/8" thick, and cut it into 2 1/4" rounds with a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place the cookies about 1" apart on a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
