Oatmeal chocolate chip. Unbelievable. Well worth the calories. And it has oatmeal, so it must be healthy, right?

What’s your favorite?

Looks yummy!

If it is healthy because of the oatmeal - depends on your beliefs! Do you hold excess fat or excess carbs responsable for obesity and associated deseases? Do you believe cholesterol is bad and that oatmeal will lower it? These are just some of the questions, and I will not put more in order not to get too much off topic.

I replace the oatmeal with ground almonds, as I prefer gluten free and low-carb. Add some ground carrots for the humidity, and butter/ghee and eggs for smoothness. Honey and 86% chocolate give the flavour.

cheers

Mmm, chocolate chip made with cassava flour, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and ghee is my current fave. I like to reheat them before eating so the chocolate chips are melty. Yum. Maybe need to go make some.

Hang on! Oatmeal RAISIN is my favorite, that has to be healthier than chocolate chips!

Lorinne, no way! Chocolate is a food group all of its own at the top of the pyramid!! My pyramid, anyway :-)

Although I did read once that unsweetened dark chocolate sweetened with honey is actually good for us.

Mediterranean climate, hugel trenches, fabulous clay soil high in nutrients, self-watering containers with hugel layers, keyhole composting with low hugel raised beds, thick Back to Eden Wood chips mulch (distinguished from Bark chips), using as many native plants as possible....all drought tolerant.

My recipe calls for both - so quit arguing and go try baking it! If you don't believe me, ask Catie George. She baked them and agreed with me.

I ask Mr. Google what cookie had the most calories though I could not get an answer out of him except "Eat more cookies." (Not really)

My favorite is whatever kind of homemade cookies that we have.

I like cookies with pecans though I never have pecans so I never have pecan cookies.
