Happy Cookie Day

June 17, 2007

My new favorite thing to do? Make cookies! But not just make cookies–make up cookies.

I decided to make oatmeal raisin cookies for my dad tonight out of better-for-you ingredients: rolled oats, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg whites… (No sugar!) I don’t like oatmeal cookies, and truthfully they came out more like oatmeal scones (I need to work on baking powder and soda amounts), but they worked! He liked them.

Of course, I substituted mini chocolate chips in a few for me. They’re so much better than the big ones. If I can see chocolate in more places in my cookie, I am a happy girl.

Now I just need a less calorically-expensive hobby.
