I came up with this to make our frequent chocolate chip cookies more healthy. My family could hardly notice the difference.
1/3 cup butter, melted and browned
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1/4 cup ground flax seed
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate (such as ghirardelli 60%)
Preheat oven 325 F. Place chopped pecans on cookie sheet and toast until lightly browned. Cool. In a small sauce pan oven med-high heat melt butter until golden brown . Cool slightly. Beat butter and sugars on medium speed until well combine. Add egg and vanilla, beat well. In separate bowl whisk flour, oats, ground flax seed, baking powder and soda, and salt. Combine butter mixture with flour mixture. Stir in pecans and chocolate. Bake at 325 F for 12-14 mins.
