So, you’ve probably seen these cookies on CNC all week long. I’ve actually made two batches now, and they have been appropriately devoured in less than 72 hours.
As you can tell, I really love these cookies. The whole wheat flour makes them thick and hearty, and the sugar, butterscotch extract, and chocolate chips give them the perfect amount of sweetness. Of course, they taste delicious, but the best part is they’re sort of healthy for you. Ok, no cookie is truly healthy, and if it was, you wouldn’t want to eat it! I mean, broccoli cookies? Um, no thanks.
I figured Cookie Friday was the perfect time to share this recipe, so here it is! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp butterscotch (or vanilla) extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1/3 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well until batter is blended evenly.
- Use a tablespoon to portion cookies and roll batter into a ball before placing it on a greased baking sheet, approximately 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool on wire rack.
- Eat and enjoy!
Makes approximately 18 cookies
P.S. I know I was suppose to finish off my Grocery Shopping 101 series today, but my final post isn’t quite ready. I’ve received a bunch of questions asking how students can save money in college, so here’s a link about How I Had Fun In College and Didn’t Go Broke. There are lots of money-saving ideas, which are good for students and non-students!
That is the cutest placemat! And chocolate chip cookies are NEVER a bad thing. 🙂
Yum, these look awesome! I just made a recipe for whole wheat cookies that had dark chocolate chips, chopped almonds and dried cherries. I agree, no cookie is all that healthy (especially when you eat 5!) but these look pretty dang good in their own right:) Love your blog!
I will agree that these are definitely healthy cookies and I will definitely be trying them soon 🙂 thanks for the great recipe!
Ahh! I totally dig cookie friday!
These look way amazing – I always struggle with the right proportions when I switch a recipe from white flour to wheat! I can’t wait to try it (after the sugar detox, of course)!
Butterscotch extract sounds interesting, I’ve never heard of it … I’ll have to give it a try!! 🙂
Oooh, I think I’ll make these with my brand-new coffee extract! Thanks Tina!
Excellent! I can’t wait to make these! 🙂
Ummm you had me at the butterscotch extract! Yum!
I am definitely going to make these cookies, anything I can make that is sweet and with whole wheat-sign me up!
We love cookies at my house and anything with a touch of sweetness! Yum!
Yum! I love chocolate chip cookies!
Oh I love chocolate chip cookies!
easy recipe, I have coconut extract so I’ll probably try it with these cookies + toasted coconuts mixed in 🙂
I made these with vanilla extract and real egg whites. The batter was extremely sticky. It was impossible to roll the dough prior to placing on the cookie sheet so I just dropped it on. The dough does not taste good, but the cookies were delicious right out of the oven. I am glad the dough didn’t taste good because I usually eat so much dough that I don’t want the cookies. Thanks for the great recipe.
I made these but substituted with combination of vanilla + coconut extract, and added shredded coconut. They taste healthy but they are good. Even better the next day. Moist with cake-like texture.
Thanks for the recipe Tina. I posted mine here > http://t.co/xnoM0Y8
Made these cookies and took them to work – everyone loved them! Used a combo of butterscotch and chocolate chips.
These cookies look delicious! I actually attempted to tweak them a little bit and substitute the oil for applesauce and it went array. See my post below for a friendly warning to stick with this recipe (unless you are looking to create what I like to call Confused Pancakecookies)
