My craft-night friend, Becky, wrote out her very yummy chocolate chip cookie recipe for me a while ago and I've been experimenting with it to make a healthier version for the littles. Here is what I've landed on. Keith even liked them, so I think I'll stick with this version. I've been trying to get a picture of the finished cookies for ages but they never last long enough for me to take one.
1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup combination of raisins, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, coconut, dried cranberries or any other add-ins you'd like to try.
Cream together shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Combine well. Fold in chocolate chips and other add-ins. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Bake @ 350F for 10-12 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to wire cooling racks.
