Good for You Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by July Girls

"Here is a great comfort cookie that you can feel good about serving your family. The light olive oil keeps the flavor light and doesn't add saturated fat! The combination of chocolate and dried cranberries is oh-so-yummy! (NOTE: the batter will look a little oily, but trust me...it works out great!)"

They turned out really well. Using oat flour instead of oats is a pretty good idea, as my daughter does not like oats. I also added 1/4 cup of roasted hazelnut powder and omitted the flax seeds as I did not have any any at the moment. Thanks for a lovely healthy recipe.
