Sometimes there is just nothing that satisfies like a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie. This is a slightly healthier version of a Mrs. Fields cookie. I hope you enjoy it.
Almost Healthy Cookie
1 lb. Organic Butter
2 cups raw sugar
2 cups Coconut sugar
4 organic or cage free eggs
3 heaping teaspoon baking soda
3 heaping teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla
4 - 5 cups whole wheat pastry flour (can be made gluten free with GF flour instead)
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
In large mixing bowl, beat butter to soften. Add sugars. Beat in eggs. Slowly add all dry ingredients. Add flour until the dough is soft, but not sticky. Add chocolate and nuts. Mix well. Place on cookie sheet (use baking paper for easy clean up) in whatever size you wish to make. Bake at 400ºF (200C) for 10 - 12 minutes. Times vary with ovens. Take out when cookies are just starting to brown on top. For crispier cookies leave in longer. They will appear darker because of the whole wheat flour, but you don’t want to let them get too brown. You can adjust the oats - less for a thinner, chewier cookie and more oats for a thick, cake like cookie. Yield: 5 dozen cookies
