Slimmer Chocolate Crinkle-Top Cookies


2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels -- divided (12 oz pkg)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons margarine -- softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Melt 1 cup morsels in small, heavy saucepan over lowest possible heat. When
morsels begin to melt, remove from heat; stir. Return to heat for a few seconds
at a time, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Beat together granulated
sugar, margarine and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat in melted chocolate;
beat in egg whites. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with water.
Stir in remaining morsels. Cover; chill until firm.

Shape dough into 1-1/2 inch balls; roll in powdered sugar to coat generously.
Place on greased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated 350F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until sides are set but
centers are still slightly soft. Cool for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to
cool completely. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
