Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup reduced-calorie margarine
1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese
1 large egg white(s)
2 tbsp fat-free skim milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 serving cooking spray
24 piece caramel candies
24 pieces pecan halves

Instructions

1. Combine flour and cocoa in a small bowl; set aside. Beat together sugar, margarine, cream cheese, egg white, milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl; add flour mixture and blend well. Chill dough at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
   
   
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
   
   
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on baking sheets about 1 to 2 inches apart. Press a caramel into each cookie and flatten; top each caramel with a pecan half. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
