Dixie Delight's Heart Smart Cookie

This fantastic recipe is compliments of A over at Dixie Delights.  A is a friend and sorority sister; and I love reading her blog every day!  I'm so lucky to have caught her posting last month about the "heart smart cookie" because I am indeed hooked! 

I've made these cookies a few times and have convinced myself that they are not only delish but also a healthier alternative than most cookies.  Ok, I can't go so far as to say they are good for me, but I do love that they have oatmeal, dried fruit and nuts (I add nuts to A's recipe)!

Scoot on over to A's blog at Dixie Delights to get the full dish.  When I make them, I've modified the recipe by doing the following and it's still really tasty!

Add more dried cherries (or Craisins)

Used plain flour for the entire flour amount if you don't have whole wheat flour handy

Add walnuts

Split the chocolate between dark or bittersweet chocolate and milk chocolate (I'm a big fan of milk chocolate)

I love using my ipad for recipes in the kitchen!



How yummy does that dough look???


Bon Appetit!
