Fudgy Chocolate Crinkles

They have the word "chocolate" in them; they're chewy, delicious cookies; and they're low fat! They must be perfect!

Fudgy Chocolate Crinkles

1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 egg whites
1/3 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar

1. Lightly grease a cookies sheet; set aside. Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping bowl. Beat in egg whites and yogurt until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can. Stir in any remaining flour.

2. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drop dough by a teaspoon into powdered sugar and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in a 350F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
