Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies
Using canola oil instead of butter slashes sat fat, while switching to whole whole wheat flour, plus adding oats, doubles the fiber. The result: a crunchy cookie with a chewy center. I found this recipe in Prevention magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
