Cooking - Judy's Wholesome Chocolate Chip Cookies



Judy's Wholesome Chocolate Chip Cookies






Anna over at Cookie Madness posted these cookies last week.  They looked so easy and yummy that I wanted to try them right away!  If you are looking for a healthier and low-fat cookie, then definitely try these.  


Ingredients:
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used about half of this amount)
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour  (spoon lightly, sweep to level)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (spoon lightly, sweep to level)
1/2 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup toasted walnut pieces

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Prepare cookie sheet.

-Mix together brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg.  When well-mixed, add the baking powder and stir well. (Watch for stray lumps!) Stir in the salt.  Then add the flour and stir until absorbed.  Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts.

-Scoop small tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.   Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 13 minutes.  Cookies are done when the edges are slightly browned. 


Yield:  About 15 cookies
