Heidi's
Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies
The
recipe everyone's been waiting for ~ You won't believe how
good they are
[All ingredients
can be found in the grocery store or in your local health
food store.]
I & 2/3 cups of Spelt Flour (A high
protein, high fiber flour)
1/4 cup of Flax Seed Meal
1/4 cup Soy Flour
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
Whisk the above ingredients in a medium size bowl and set
aside.
1/2
cup Smart Balance Spread (Non trans-fatty acids,
a good alternative
to butter)
2/3 cup Turbinado sugar (This is an unrefined
sugar and doesn't create the typical "sugar high's and
lows" because it doesn't cause the same rise in insulin
as other forms of sugar.)
1 Egg
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Pure Almond Extract
1/2 package of Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips (Made
with unrefined sugar)
Preheat
oven to 325. Mix the Smart Balance in a mixer until creamy.
Add turbinado and mix until fluffy. Add egg and extracts and
blend until smooth. Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients
and mix only until blended. Add chocolate chips and mix. Spoon
onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Cook 8-9 minutes and remove from oven. Let stand on cookie
sheet for 5 minutes before removing. This allows the moisture
to sink back into the cookies and make them chewy.
