- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup reduced-calorie sweetener
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso granules
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (about 4.5 ounces) finely chopped premium dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (optional)
- Beat first 4 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until well blended. Add egg substitute, beating until well blended.
- Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in chocolate and, if desired, nuts.
- Divide dough in half; shape each portion into a 10- x 2-inch log on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 23 to 25 minutes or until firm and lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion. Place slices on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 7 to 9 minutes; turn cookies over, and bake 7 to 9 more minutes or until cookies are browned. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
