A cookie that is good for you....!!!

Browsing through various baking sites, with a huge craving for cookies, I stumbled upon one intriguing good for you cookie, on a very good baking site, http://www.verybestbaking.com/. Nestle's own website....where else to find the prefect chocolate cookie. With the bikini season right around the corner, I figured I would give it a try.

Chocolate-Oat Cookies

Adapted from verybestbaking.com

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flout
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels

When making cookies you first want to cream the butter and sugar. Then you want to add the egg whites one at a time, the applesauce and then the flour mixed with baking soda and salt. Once that is combined, add your filling to the cookie, in this case chocolate, nuts and oats. Stir it well together and your cookie batter is all set!
I like my cookies not too big, so I placed around 2 tablespoon of batter on a baking pan, lined with parchment paper. Don't worry about getting them round and flat, they will flatten out by them selves.
Bake at 375 degree for around 9-13 minutes, depending if you like your cookie chewy or crunchy. I found that I like to bake them 10 minutes. But this you need to try out for your selves, because it all depends on the size of your cookies and your oven.
This batch will make around 40-50 cookies, but the good thing is that they freeze very well and in my opinion tastes even better frozen!
