I make cookies pretty often and I try to make them somewhat healthy based on the fact that I eat them regularly. This is a recipe my husband and I really enjoyed - the idea came from White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies - but I changed quite a few things! Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar (i use sugar in the raw) |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 large egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (i use a 1/2 tsp..we like cinnamon!) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant) |
3/4 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped |
1/2-2/3 cup sliced almonds |
6 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. In a large bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, and butter; mix well to cream together.
3. Add in egg and vanilla extract, mix well.
4. Add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and flour, mix well.
5. Fold in oatmeal, dried cherries, almonds, and dark chocolate - making sure that all ingredients are uniformly distributed (will be rather crumbly).
6. Roll or smoosh into ball like shapes and place on a greased cookie sheet, bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden/brown
7. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet 2-3 minutes, transfer to cooling rack.
