Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup pasture butter, softened
• 2/3 cup Sucanat
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in flour, baking soda and
salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sucanat, egg and vanilla; beat
until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until
just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake
cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until firm around the edges and golden on top, about 15 minutes. Cool the
cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
