Hi, I'm Ron's wife (from here on out known as Wifey in this blog) and today's recipe was created by me when I was in desperate need of a sweet tooth fix. I will sometimes make an appearance because while my husband is
naturally an excellent cook (he can coax flavor out of anything), I like to
think I (as least in part) inspired the healthy side of things. When I was pregnant with Baby I started
requesting healthy eats (veggies, extra iron and fiber), but with the same
great taste I had gotten used to. He
happily obliged. But I also love to mix
up the occasional concoction. Here is a
recipe I tried yesterday by essentially combining anything in the pantry that
looked yummy and mostly healthy. Of
added interest they can even be prepared while carrying Baby in his front pouch
carrier. Let’s call them…
When You Simply Need Something Sweet Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly coat a cookie sheet with oil. Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl and all wet ingredients
in another. Then add together. Toss in just a few chocolate chips or roughly
chop part of a dark chocolate bar, add raisins, dried blueberries, walnuts,
almonds…whatever your heart’s desire. Place a heaping spoonful of the cookie dough onto the oiled cookie sheet. Leave at least an inch and a half between cookies. Place cookies into oven for 8 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven and place cookies onto cooling rack.
