If you're like me, you're always trying to sneak some extra nutrition in your family, your kid's lunchbox, or in my case - my husband! I was skeptical of this recipe tasting like cardboard, but was pleasantly surprised. Warm chocolate chip cookies and milk is something I crave, and if you're looking for an alternative recipe you can feel good about I highly recommend it. Give them a try, and don't tell your family they're good for them!
Note: You could also try 3/4 c. regular flour + 3/4 c. whole wheat flour for less of a difference in taste.
Smart Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. canola oil
2/3 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. oatmeal
3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
NO mixer needed! Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in small bowl. Whisk together oil and sugars in large bowl. Whisk in egg whites and vanilla until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients until blended. Fold in oats and chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough at least 15 min.
Heat oven to 375. Roll dough into 16 balls using a little pressure to shape. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Press dough down with fingers slightly to flatten. Bake 7-10 minutes.
