Introduction

I used an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie recipe that I grew up with and gave it a healthy twist. It could be healthier if you used all unsweetened ingredients, use agave nectar instead of sugar, whole wheat flour in place of the white flour and 4 eggs whites in place of the 2 eggs. I will be trying that recipe soon. I will also try to make a gluten free version. I used an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie recipe that I grew up with and gave it a healthy twist.
