I have been dying to bake for a week now and finally got the chance today. But, since baking is a major danger zone for me I decided to make a mini-batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies! I made a small batch that made 9 cookies total. I didn’t want to bust out a recipe so I made this up as I went along…
Ingredients – Makes 9 Healthy Cookies
1/2c oats
1/2c whole wheat flour
1/3c brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
dash salt and cinnamon
1 egg
1 applesauce (snack pack size)
1/3c chocolate chips
Mix dry ingredients, then wet ingredients. Drop spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. *I spray the pan to prevent sticking since the cookies don’t have butter. **You can’t eat more than a bite of the cookie dough since it doesn’t make that much. Yes, I eat the batter even though it has raw egg. Have you ever heard of anyone dying from eating cookie dough? If you ever do, it will probably be me and I won’t regret it.
Let’s remember that these are healthy cookies and may disappoint Ben your significant other.
The whole batch on a plate! Dee-lish!
I didn’t just have cookies for dinner (not that I’m above that). I had some polenta left over from the other night and recreated that meal. I love cooked spinach with tomato paste and spices. Love it.
My afternoon snack was kiwi and a yogurt. I was hungry and also ended up eating a handful of Kashi crackers! Maybe two handfuls?
When I got home and started making dinner I thought I would be “good” and plate my snackage of Pirate’s Booty. But, let’s be honest and say that I ate handfuls of this stuff straight out of the bag too.
In other news…I’m going to Mississippi next week for work! I’m covering a story about a church building a house for a family who lost their home in Katrina. Exciting life of a reporter!?

Oh, these cookies just made me so very hungry.
Very exciting about the reporting gig in MS!
um… where are my cookies???
What is your polenta recipe? I bought some at WF and then realized I’ve only ever bought the tube kind.
That’s such a great little recipe for when you dont want too much.
Normally, I’d say why bother baking the cookie dough, but after the recent E. Coli thing I’ve been a little hesitant, especially after this article

Ah! I didn’t know you were a reporter too! Sounds like a great story and opportunity
Love the mini recipe. Baking is a danger zone for me too, although most of the eating happens before the batter reaches the oven
Those chocolate chip cookies look AMAZING! I can’t wait to try them!!
What an interesting job! I agree on the healthy baked goods. My siginificant other always asks if they are healthy so he can prepare himself.
That sounds like a great story you’re covering.
I need to try polenta. I have just never known what to do with it. Your meal looks good and easy too!
Love the cookies!! I have everything except the applesauce at my house. I may have to make a trip to the supermarket!
