In her Clear Lake, Minnesota kitchen, Pam Voigt lightened up a traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookie by adding wheat germ, eliminating butter and using applesauce. Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 cups toasted wheat germ |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (6 ounces) miniature chocolate chips |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and oil until blended. Beat in egg, then applesauce. Combine the flour, wheat germ, oats, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to brown sugar mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Flatten slightly with a glass bottom coated with cooking spray.
3. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookies are set. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks. Yield: 4 dozen.
