As the seasons change, so do the things your making in your kitchen. In the fall, baking chocolate chip cookies is a personal favorite. They pair up perfectly with a cup of hot coffee and will make your house smell wonderful! The only problem is that it's impossible to only eat one. But don't worry, there is one easy change to make your favorite cookies healthier! Instead of using all-purpose flour, substitute it for whole wheat flour. By doing this you will add more nutrients and fiber to your cookies, and they still taste just as great!
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1.Heat oven to 375ºF.
2.Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
3.Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
I am loving this blog and the topic that you chose to focus your blog on. My roommates and I are always looking for healthier ways to eat certain meals. So my favorite food is sushi and I know it is healthy, but some is apparently healthier than others. Any insight on what kind is the best for you and what kind to avoid??
