Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

As a little girl I recall my mom cooking cookies and cakes. I used to be her 'helper' in the kitchen. The help included licking the bowl!  As I grew older, I made my own sweets including homemade lemon bars (coming soon to the blog), cheesecake and pound cakes. The last time I cooked cookies was when I lived in Chicago. This is my first batch in my place and I chose to use whole wheat flour, less chocolate chips and oat flour! I really liked the batch as they were yummy and I even chose to not use as many eggs. The next time I make these, I'll use 'flax eggs' and see how they go. Since the holidays are coming up, I felt it was time to revisit my favorites. I truly hope you enjoy and if you have any comments, please leave them below.
