3 egg whites
3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
Place egg whites, cottage cheese and vanilla in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt; add to cottage cheese mixture. Cover and process for 30 seconds. Add chocolate; cover and process just until blended, about 15 seconds. Spread into an 8-in. square baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not over bake). Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioner's sugar. Cut into bars.
