Whole Wheat-Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm going to make these soon!

Fanatic Friday Food Storage Recipe Rewind: Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Posted on January 8th, 2009 by Crystal-Everyday Food Storage

You’ll never guess what this cookie DOESN’T have in it! I’ll give you one guess…if you guessed a fat you are right! There is no butter or shortening in this cookie. Instead you have the protein, fiber and health benefits of….yep…BEANS! To make the deal even sweeter this low calorie cookie only has 1 cup of sugar and is full of even more fiber when you use whole wheat flour. The cookie has a great cake-like consistency and of course no bad flavor or after taste! I served them to my brother, nephew and husband and no one knew there was anything different about the cookie, in fact to quote them: “These are AWESOME!!” I think this may be one of my favorite food storage recipes yet!
