Cappuccino Crinkles

1/3 c. butter
1 c. packed brown sugar
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 T instant coffee granules
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
1/3 c. low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. granulated sugar

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer until softened. Add the brown sugar, cocoa powder, coffee granules, baking soda, and cinnamon. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Beat in the egg whites and yogurt until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can. Stir in the remaining flour.

Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Drop dough by a teaspoon into sugar and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

*This is a low-fat recipie. I found the batter to be rather difficult to work with. It was a bit sticky.

This recipe is from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book.
