Little Steps to Better Heath - COOKIES!

Here is my very own recipe for a healthier chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie. They are nutritious and yummy, seriously, they taste pretty delicious.

Basic Dough

Combine Dry Ingredients - set aside

3/4 cup unbleached flour

2 cups oat flour (or grind your own with a food processor)

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. sea salt

Blend together until flluffy

1/2 cup margarine (or Smart Balance)

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Now add

4 oz. apple sauce

1 egg

3 tbs. milk or soy milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients with butter and sugar

For Chocolate chip cookies add a bag of chocolate chips

For Oatmeal Raisin cookies add 1 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon cinamon and 1/2 cup nuts (optional)  Or do like I do and make both - Divide dough in half and put chocolate chips in half and raisins and cimamon in the other half.

Bake on parchment paper for 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes  Enjoy!
