oatmeal dark chocolate chip cookies by Michelle Antol

These cookies are so soft and chewy, you can't tell these are healthy for you! Of course, I couldn't just make regular cookies with white flour.

German Chocolate Cookies by Salad Foodie

This recipe from the BHG.com website was developed as a healthier alternative to outright decadent German chocolate cake.
