I invented these cookies because I wanted a healthier version of the good old chocolate chip cookies...They are brown (due to the flaxseed meal), crisp on the outside but softer on the inside...and very flavorful. They turned out really nice and everyone liked them. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups flax seed meal |
1/4 cup oats |
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup butter (room temperature) |
2 egg whites |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl combine first 5 ingredients (dry ingredients).
3. In a larger bowl beat sugars and butter until fluffy, then add egg white and dry ingredients, beat well.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Shape into little balls (I used my hands, but you could also use tablespoons I guess) and place on baking sheets. Press down with the palm of your hand (they won't spread, so press them as flat as you like your cookies).
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes (I baked them for 18 and liked them that way).
