It's A Cookie Monster Day!

Ok I've been asked about my healthy cookie recipes for a while now. I've created two recipes that use whole grain white wheat flour and natural sugar when I can find the ingredients. My family loves the taste and loves helping me make them. That's so worth the energy.

First off is my modified sniker-doodle. Or as I like to call them smacker-doodle. I make these for my husband specifically. He's a sugar cookie fiend. These always help fix his craving.

Recipe:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cup whole wheat white flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, salt, soda and cinnamon then mix well. Scope and flatten spoonfuls on cookie sheet . Bake at 350• for 15 minutes. I like to roll my cookies in cinnamon sugar before flattening them in baking pan. It makes them taste more sinker- doodlie.



My peanut-butter oatmeal cookie are my kids favorite. Greate after school snake.

Recipe:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Dark Chocolate Kiss for decoration

Cream sugars, egg, butter, and peanutbutter. Add in dry ingredients. Spoon on cookie sheet. Thes expand so give room between. Bake for 350• for 13-15 minutes. Pull from oven and garnish with chocolate kiss by gently pressing into center of cookie. Cool before serving.




Give these a try and see what you think! I'd love comments on how they taste.
