I am always trying to find ways to make cookies a little bit healthier. With our daughter starting kindergarten this fall my plan is to bake for her as I do not want any pre-packaged snacks in her lunch box.
Here is a recipe I made up today:
Healthy? Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 3/4 cup large flake oatmeal
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Mix all together in order given and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
The cookies did not look quite as appealing as I had hoped and the texture was a bit different than I expected. But the kids and hubby liked them that so I guess that is all that matters!
What do you pack for your kids? I’d love to hear your ideas or recipes of what you pack in your kids lunch!
Feel free to link-up!

These look absolutely delicious! And ... you're right - as long as family likes them that is all that matters. They don't look bad to me. I will have to try them soon - can you send me a box? LOL! I will try the recipe one of these days. I haven't eaten yet today and I am so so hungry. I better go eat so that means I have to stop posting on the giveaways for now. Thank you, Tracey M.tlmswt2000(at)msn(dot)com
