Chocolate Chunk Goodness Cookies






Believe it or not these are good for you. And yes, they are delicious!

No butter, no eggs, low sugar and whole wheat flour turn these yummy goodies into something even better.

The chocolate chunks are 88% cocoa too. So you get your flavonoids-on.

I really was a bit experimental with this so my measurements may not be exact.

But here it goes:

1/2 cup plus 2 tspns of whole wheat flour
3/4 cup of rolled oats
1/2 of a 3 oz dark chocolate bar banged to bits - go for the higher % of pure cocoa type.
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of brown-sugar splenda blend
1/2 tablespoon of black strap molasses
1/4 cup of applesauce (no sugar added)
1/4 cup of canola oil
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Preheat over to 350.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add the chocolate chunks to the dry mixture.
Combine wet ingredients together in another small bowl to blend.
Then add wet to dry and mix.
form small spoonfuls of batter and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment or silpat.

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

Enjoy with your cold milk of choice!
