"Unhealthy" Cookies

Dear Turkey,

Sometimes if you just

Say they're unhealthy, people

Will eat more of them

"Unhealthy" Cookies

(makes 24, this is a hybrid between what we call unhealthy cookies and what we call healthy cookies)

Ingredients:

- 1 stick butter, vegan butter, or 1/2 c coconut oil, very soft but not melted if possible (if it's melted, no worries - the cookies will just spread out more)

- 1/2 c canola oil

- 1/2 c sugar

- scant 2/3 c brown sugar

- 2 T flax or chia seeds, whole or ground, soaked for a few minutes in 2/3 c warm water (if your fat is room temperature or warmer, you can just throw the seeds and the water right in the bowl)

- 1 t vanilla

- 1 t baking soda

- 1 t salt

- 2.5 c white whole wheat flour (this is one time where I would use white whole wheat or whole wheat pastry instead of straight-up whole wheat flour)

- 1 c chocolate chips

Instructions:

- Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl and beat well (you can do this by hand -- don't go crazy). Stir in remaining ingredients.

- Cover two cookie sheets with parchment and drop 12 cookies onto each sheet. Try to keep them a bit rounded as they will flatten in the oven. 

- Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes. Cool completely. These freeze well. 

Enjoy,

Tofu
