Chocolate Chip Cookies

See What's Cookin'

Ahhh....who doesn't love the taste and comfort of the chocolate chip cookies. I know, I do. Here it is in the "Healthy" cook book. HOORAY! To be honest this is the best homemade cookie recipe I have ever tried. Usually I make oatmeal chocolate chip because plain chocolate chip cookies always tastes to buttery. In this recipe they had you melt some of the butter in a sauce pan until brown and nutty smelling. Good call, if you ask me. These cookies are a keeper at my house....I even made the double.

Now, I don't think cookies are a healthy choice but they are great to have once in a while, especially if they are homemade. This way you know what ingredients are inside the cookies.

I was curious to compare this recipe to an average chocolate chip cookie recipe to see how they decreased some ingredients since there were no real "health" ingredients added. I didn't notice much difference other then how the butter was prepared. I am not sure how this recipe made it into the healthy cook book, but it was good.

Filled up the cookie jar for the week. I guess my health tip for the week is.....make good healthy choices in preparing and eating but make room for a treat once in a while. Check out Valerie's, by clicking on her name, for the recipe.
