Ingredients (this will make 16 squares):
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-fat margarine, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Cooking spray
- 1 (8-ounce) block low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup calorie-free sweetener
- 3 tablespoons skimmed milk
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat sugar and margarine with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, egg white, and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour and cocoa, beating well. Pour into an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray.
