Like I mentioned in my recent Food Blog post, this week I'm going to be giving out Healthy recipes that take a twist on tradition junk food. Today I'm going to give you this delicious recipe that I often make when I want to indulge in something sweet. I call it; "The Surprisingly Nutritious Chocolate Chip Cookie."
What you will need:
1 cup of whole wheat flour
3/4 cup of rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 cup of olive oil (or any healthy oil)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/3 cup of your favorite sugar substitute (I use honey)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
A egg substitute for 1 large egg (I use egg whites or flaxseed)

Stir in dark chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, onto the prepared baking sheets making sure that they are at least one inch apart. Bake the cookies 1 sheet at a time, until firm around the edges and golden on top. This usually takes 15 minutes depending on your oven. Cool the cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then let cool before serving!
