My Favorite Cookies :)

1 cup butter ( real whole butter; I usually do half cup melted coconut oil)

1.5 cups Turbinado ( Labeled as Sucanat at Winco)

.25 cup Sucanat ( available at whole foods or Good earth)

2 flax "eggs" - ( 1tbsp ground flax seed, 3 tbsp warm water=1 egg)

1 tsp vanilla ( I like to use almond extract usually!)



Mix these ingredients



1.5 cups Whole wheat Flour  (I do Spelt!!)

1.5 tsp baking powder
.25 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. salt



Mix with wet ingredients



Stir in 1-2 cups reg. rolled oats

1-2 cups choco. chips or carob chips ( I like using chocolate from my Forever Green company. It is way healthy chocolate, safe for diabetics and not filled with wax, milk and other things)



Bake for 10-12 min in a 350 degree oven.





* You can split the turbinado and sucanat anyway you want. eventually I will have the sucanat be the majority of my "sugar" because it has way more molasses content... just working on the taste buds :)

* You can also replace the whole wheat flour with Spelt flour for those with gluten sensitivities.:) That is how I make them now - I no longer use whole wheat anything.
