The recipe calls for the cookies to be frosted, but we didn't take the time to make frosting - they still tasted great to me!

Heart healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Over at the Self Reliance blog Ashley has been talking about honey and oatmeal so I found a recipe that has both.  I got this recipe out of the Woldwide Ward Cookbook.  They have no surgar and no butter but has honey, oatmeal and whole wheat flour.  They were good!

1/2 C canola oil
1 C honey
4 egg whites
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C white flour
2-3 C Oatmeal
3/4 C walnuts
I added 1/2 bag of chocolate chips too. :)

Mix oil and honey well. Add egg whites and continue mixing until well blended.  Stir in remaining ingredients mixing after each addition.  Drop onto greased cookie sheet.  Bake 350 degrees for 10 min.  Makes 3-4 dozen.  Hope you enjoy these and you don't have to feel too guilty.  Becky Graves
