A little something different!

So I have been struggling with my son who has decided he does not need to take his daily nap.  Sigh...  Last week was hard.  At one point, I just gave in and we made cookies.  We haven't made my "super skinny chocolate chip cookies" in a LONG time.  So we got to work!

We got our ingredients ready.

This recipe started out as the classic Tollhouse

recipe.  I played with it over the past few years

tweaking it here and there.  I finally came up

with a cookie that is very healthy

but still delicious (we think)!

It's FULL of fiber (whole wheat flour, flax meal,

& wheat germ), has very little fat

(applesauce & ricotta cheese )

and still has that wonderful chocolate chip

flavor (dark chocolate).  

The non-napper is ready.  Ugh.

"My body is just not tired."

"Are they done yet?"

The dough is VERY sticky.

I use parchment paper for almost all of

my baking, but it is a MUST for these!

They are lacking fat so they will stick!!!

Believe it or not - they are soooo soft.

Taste test...

I guess that's good!

I don't even mind giving him seconds.

This is the perfect afternoon snack!  

If you're wondering, they are worth

2 points on the weight watchers plan.

Not bad.

Although, I am going to cut back

to just a cup of the chocolate chips to get it closer

to just 1 point on the plan.  Then I can have 2!

:)

Happy Baking!!
