1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon flavorless vegetable oil
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups mini-semisweet chocolate chips

Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Cream butter.

Drop from a teaspoons onto cookie sheets about 1-1/2" apart.

Excellent tasting cookie; the molasses make it a great option to an old favourite.
