Another healthy spin: Chocolate chip cookies

Posted on Jan 15th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Reader Laura, in response to the post A healthy spin on oatmeal raisin cookies, shares another healthy take on a classic cookie: Chocolate chip cookies.

With whole wheat pastry flour for whole-grain goodness and fiber, dark chocolate chips full of antioxidants, and less sugar and salt than any traditional recipe, these are cookies you'll surely love. The best part about them: They'll love you back.

Ingredients


1 cup canola oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (Omega-3)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup oat bran flour
1-¼ cup rolled oats
½ cup chopped walnuts
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

Preparation
  • Place the first four ingredients in a bowl and beat until creamy.
  • Add the oat bran flour and rolled oats and mix again.
  • Add the walnuts and chocolate chips to the mix.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Finally, bake in a pre-heated 375 degree F oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown (they should still be soft).
Thanks for sharing, Laura. We love healthy treats.
