3 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 2 tsp. baking powder 4 1-oz. squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted 2 Tbsp. grated orange zest 3 Tbsp. orange juice 2 tsp. vanilla 3 egg whites 4 1-oz. squares white chocolate, chopped Combine flour, sugars, salt and baking powder in a large bowl and mix well. Stir in melted chocolate, orange zest and juice, vanilla, egg whites and white chocolate and continue mixing. Knead dough with your hands until mixed thoroughly, dough will be stiff. Separate dough into 4 equal pieces and roll out to form 4 log shapes that are about 2 inches thick and 12 inches long. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place logs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Reduce heat of oven to 300 degrees. Slice logs into 1/2-inch pieces and lay them on their sides. Return to the oven for 9 more minutes. Turn over to other side and cook an additional 9 minutes at 300 degrees. Remove from oven and serve with coffee. The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar and egg white substitute. You can also get reduced sugar orange juice in most grocery stores.
