Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies the other day and was very happy with them.  Natalia's recipe  called for only 1/3 cup of sugar which is a good thing. I added a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the recipe, using brown sugar and unsalted butter. Wouldn't you know, I forgot to flatten the walnut sized balls before baking but maybe you don't have to, the cookies were crumbly and delicious. Unsalted butter makes a difference as opposed to margarine.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on the weekend. I googled a nice recipe from Canadian Living. You can't go wrong with butter and brown sugar, it's hard to stop at eating just one! Well, I ate four that day!

Here is a website with lots of healthy recipes tailored to diabetics, but great even if you are not diabetic. It's in my family although I'm hoping I don't get it.  There is a booklet there that you can download.  I'd like to try the Zesty Artichoke Dip and their Slow Cooker Turkey Chili.

I enjoyed this video a friend sent me, and thought you might too.
