Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

In my opinion, the best chocolate chip cookies are homemade chocolate chip cookies! That might be because I’m from the Midwest (Iowa to be specific). I have lived in 9 states and one foreign country. But one thing I’ve learned in all of those moves is that in the Midwest, like nowhere else…

FOOD = LOVE

I spend tons of time deliberating over food choices and preparation whether I am having friends over for a casual dinner or hosting a cocktail party. I always make too much food and I love it when people are happy because of my cooking.

I also love baking cookies for my kids. It is such a simple gesture that instantly puts a smile on their face. What could be better as a kid than a warm homemade chocolate chip cookie after school?

Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I want my kids to be healthy and develop good eating habits, so I redesigned our favorite oatmeal cookie recipe.

• I eliminated some of the butter in lieu of coconut oil, substituted whole wheat and ground oatmeal for some of the white flour and eliminated some of the sugar.
• I hate to brag, but these healthy cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies!

I hope you try making these healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
