Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies, Cooking Light January/February 2010
((Didn't take a photo, but they look like normal chocolate chip oatmeal cookies))
Tonight was the inaugural meeting of a book club to discuss "The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women." We're going to discuss its 12 chapters over 4 meetings. In addition to some carrots and fruit and other things, I made these cookies to serve. They are described in the magazine as not being bad for you. I guess, sure there is a bit of whole-wheat flour and oats, but I think it's funny that sometimes it seems like people use brown sugar instead of white or something and then it's healthy. Or bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Just because there are dried cherries and oatmeal doesn't make something healthy... it is still a cookie :-P But given that it is described as "healthy" I decided that it means I can eat leftovers for breakfast. It's basically like eating oatmeal, amirite??
These are pretty good, although I am not really into dried cherries. The dried cherries cost like $8, too. They're just too .... sour? sweet? not sure. They're just too much something, and they don't taste like normal cherries, which are some of the best things ever. I will keep this recipe as a base, but I don't think I'll put in dried cherries next time.
