Healthy cookies

Okay, so I realize that the word "healthy" and "cookie" don't really have much in common...but these are as close as they come with still tasting delicious. I discovered this recipe on the back of my Muesli bag and thought I'd give it a try and I loved them! They are super yummy and don't make me feel icky like normal cookies do after I eat them. Andy really likes them too, which is saying something because he typically doesn't like any "healthy" treats that I make - like bran muffins. So, I'm glad to have discovered a guilt-free, good-tasting, semi-healthy cookie that I can indulge. :)

Chocolate Chip Muesli Cookies

1 Cup Bob's Red Mill Muesli (I buy it at Super One)
3/4 Cup sifted Whole Wheat Flour
2/3 Cup Applesauce (I use one without the added sugar)
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
6 oz. package Chocolate Chips
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 Egg

Heat oven to 375. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together and set aside. Blend applesauce, sugar and vanilla together. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture and mix. Stir in Muesli and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minute. (Makes about 2 dozen cookies.)

Super yummy!
