Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

These Oatmeal cookies are delicious!  Not only is the whole wheat flour better for you, it adds another layer of flavour to the cookies.  I added chocolate chips as well (I really hate raisins) but any dried fruit or nuts or combination would work.  And I used brown sugar splenda blend instead of regular brown sugar to cut down on the guilt a bit.

1/2 cup of soft butter
3/4 cup brown sugar splenda blend or any brown or golden sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup quick cooking oats

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Lightly grease your baking sheet.  This recipe will make 15 large cookies.

Cream the butter and the sugar together.  Beat in the egg.  Add the vanilla extract.  In a second bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture.  Then add the oats at the end - mix until all the ingredients are combined.  And your fruit and or nuts if you have them.

Use a spoon to scoop out 12 cookies.  Flatten them with a spoon bottom or your hand.  Cook for 14 minutes
