Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup “Smart Balance” butter spread ( I used Earth Balanace, I really like it)
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup brown sugar, packed (I used Sucanat)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
10 oz. package chocolate chips

1. Mix together Smart Balance and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and continue mixing. Slowly add the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With a wooden spoon, mix in the oatmeal and chocolate chips.2. Cook at 375° F for 10-12 minutes.Makes 3 dozen (36 cookies). One cookie equals one serving.

Not sure where this recipe came from, I has it in my recipe files, but I sure like it. The cookies are fantastic. Moist, chewy, and not the least bit heavy. Next time I make them I think I will use 1 cup whole wheat and 3/4 white. I used not so healthy chocolate mint chips, its what I had in the freezer !

Oh I think I'll have to try these! For me, if I think they are healthier (not necessarily "healthy"), I'll freeze them and then take one out to eat in the a.m. with a cup of coffee.

there really seems to be a difference in thinking something is "healthy" compared to Healthier
