Healthier Dark Chocolate Dream Cookies

I am working on making a Kid Approved (and Dad too): Healthy Cookies recipe book.  My son adores cookies, but then again what kid doesn't?  However, I really don't want to fill him full of sugar and empty calories.  So, if he's going to eat them...  He may as well get some good out of it too.  Here's a recipe I tried today.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter (I used half Dark Chocolate, half White Chocolate) (go here for a coupon!)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tb flax meal
  • 2 Tb chia seeds (order here)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 Tb warm water
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips



Direction:
  • Preheat oven to 350*F
  • Combine all ingredients in bowl
  • Spoon by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes
  • Let cool on sheet for a few minutes before removing to cooling rack



Makes about 12 cookies, if you can keep from eating the batter :)




You can find the original recipe for these cookies here.
