Chocolate Chip Cookies – Healthified

I have a little thing for chocolate chip cookies.

I haven’t made any for myself in a while. But when the coupon for Nestle chocolate chips showed up in the newspaper last night, I just couldn’t help it. I had to buy a bag!

As I was preparing the batter, I thought to myself, ‘If I’m really going to make these, I might as well “healthify” them. Right!!??!! Toss in some whole wheat and some flaxseed.” Justify. Justify.
