chocolate chip oatmeal cookies*

As my cleanse is almost over (yay), I'm dying, dying I say for some chocolate chip cookies.  In my book there are few things better than chocolate chip cookies and an ice cold glass of soymilk. Well maybe there are lots of things better but this is way up on my list.   Here is my recipe, you'll note it's pretty healthy.  I like the slight taste of banana with chocolate and walnuts but if you don't, just use your regular egg substitute.

1/2 c room temp earth balance

1/2 c brown sugar

1 egg substitute (i use 1/2 ripe, mashed banana for this)

1 t vanilla extract

1 c whole wheat flour

1 t baking soda

2 T soymilk

1 c oats

3/4 c chocolate chips

1/2 c walnuts

In a bowl cream margarine for 30 seconds and then add 1/2 c brown sugar.  beat til fluffy.  add egg substitute and vanilla extract, beat until well combined.  stir in flour, baking soda and soymilk.  add oats, chocolate chips and walnuts.  use a teaspoon to drop cookies onto baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes. 

makes approximately 24 cookies
