Chocolate chip cookies!

Mmmm.... chocolate chip cookies!  They smell and taste so good that no one will know that they have sneaky healthy ingredients! 

Here is the recipe:

1/2 cup of butter/margerine
1/4 cup pureed white beans
1/4 cup pureed cauliflower/zuchinni
1/2 cup melted white chocolate chips
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp oat bran
2 tbsp wheat germ
1/2 cup miniature semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

Combine flours, oat bran and wheat germ with salt and baking soda.  Set aside.  In a mixing bowl, cream melted butter/margerine, white bean puree, and sugars until fluffy.  In a small saucepan slowly melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and then pour melted chocolate into the mixing bowl and combine with sugar mixture.  Add your cauliflower/zuchinni puree and egg and extra egg yolk and blend well.  Then mix in your flour mixture until combined.  Add the 1/2 cup of miniature chocolate chips until the chocolate chips are throughout your cookie batter. 

Scoop out in small teaspoon amounts and place about an inch apart on the pan.  Once the pan is full bake for 10-12 minutes until top of cookies are starting to be slightly golden.  Take pan from oven, and let sit on pan for an additional 3 minutes.  After the 3 minutes, transfer cookies to cooling racks. 

This batch made 83 cookies for me! 

I was able to cut down 1/2 the sugar, 1/3 of the butter and add a whole bunch of whole grains from my original (and favorite) cookie recipe.  And I have to say, that these turned out pretty darn yummy!
