Once again, not only has Sonia given me a recipe for my blog and even let me taste them as she experimented, but she also took a picture for me!  I owe her big. 

Kel-
Here’s the recipe for my chocolate chip cookies. While not nutritionally perfect, I still feel good about the kids eating these instead of cookies made with more typical recipes.

A few notes about these cookies:

• They have a soft, cake-like texture. We prefer soft, chewy cookies, so that’s the texture I was going for while I messed around with the recipe.
• I have also added 1/2 cup of organic peanut butter to these, and they turned out great.
• While the recipe looks a little long, it’s not any harder to throw together than anything else. I store all of my grains together, so I can whip them all out at once and it doesn’t take much extra time.
• The boys love these with a huge glass of non-homogenized whole milk (and so do I!) and don’t complain about them being “too healthy”. A huge coup!

Cream together:

-1 stick organic butter
-1/4 cup. organic evaporated blonde palm sugar
-1/2 cup raw honey

In separate bowl combine:

-1/3 cup oat flour
-1/3 cup organic quinoa flour
-1/3 cup organic spelt flour
-1/3 cup ground organic flax seed
-1 1/4 c. organic whole wheat flour
-1 t. sea salt
-1 t. baking soda

Add to creamed mixture and mix:

-2 eggs
-1 t. organic vanilla

Combine dry ingredients gradually into wet ingredients. Stir in 12 oz. Ghiradelli chocolate chips. Spoon onto cookie sheets and bake at 350* until just golden brown.

A couple notes from Kelly:

• For even more nutrition, you can use sprouted grain flour. (More info on sprouting your grains.)
• Sonia and her family don’t drink raw milk yet, but you can read more about that at this raw milk post.
• Even I, with my picky palette, loooooove these soft, yummy cookies!

THANKS, SONIA!
