Cookies are another good way to disguise wheat. Everyone loves cookies, dont they? They are still filled with other stuff that is not necessarily good for you, but they are cookies. Supposed to be a treat. In my opinion, treats are supposed to be good.
A friend brought me some cookies a while back. They were sweetened with honey, the eggs had been replaced with flax and water, and she had omitted the raisins called for in the recipe. The cookies were edible and fit in the category of a healthy food, but they were not very good. If I am going to make a treat and have it in our house, I think it should taste just like its intended to, a treat.
And on the occasion we do have treats, they are homemade. No funky ingredients or additives.
Ally Bs Chocolate Chip Cookies
3 1/3 cups flour ( I use 2 cups wheat and 1 1/3 all purpose)
3/4 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 sticks of butter, melted and cooled
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs and 2 egg yolks
1 Tbs. vanilla
choc chips
Adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions. Preheat to 325. Whisk flour, salt, and soda and set aside. Beat butter and sugar on medium speed 1 - 2 minutes. Beat in yolks and eggs and vanilla until just combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and mix in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
scoop out cookies on pans and place 2 in the oven at a time. Bake for 8-9 minutes then switch pans and cook for an additional 8-9 minutes.
Let cool on pan a few minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
