Does anyone know a good recipe for chocolate chip cookies which uses whole grains and no refined sugar?
Cookie Diet June 8th, 2009
I am trying to switch from a processed food and high-sugar diet to using more organics, whole grains, and low sugar foods. The hardest thing I've had to give up are my Nestle Tollhouse cookies. I need a recipe which can be very tasty, but uses some kind of whole grain flour, and either honey, molassas, or a sugar substitute, for a high-fiber, low-sugar cookie. I'd also like the ability to add in some whey protein powder to increase the protien content some.

Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies use honey instead of white granulated sugar. Also, 100% whole wheat flour used instead of all purpose flour. Tempature is lowered on purpose beacause honey burns at higher tempatures. This is suppose to be a healthier alternative to cookies made with white sugar.
