Michelle's Awesome Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

OK, so I make these divine cookies that I modified from a basic Chocolate Chip cookie recipe off the back of a Nestle's bag.  It turns out, they aren't just good cookies, they are great cookies.  Great is too little a work - wonderous? miraculous? the best cookies on the face of the earth?  Yes, they have been called all of these.  But right now, they are also called "off limits" to my 12 year old Type 1 diabetic daughter, who is a chef in the making.  Her diagnosis has turned her desire to be a pastry chef into a desire to make dessert creations EVERYONE can eat.  My cookies were our first experiment.

Michelle's NEW Awesome Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
(Warning, there is a lot of blending/processing of items to make them lighter or more fine)
Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Ingredients:
7/8 cup of butter (margarine or the like works just fine)
5 tbsp Agave Nectar
3/4 cup  Splenda (or preferred sugar replacement)

Blend all these items together in mixer until smooth.

Add:
1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 egg
1 tsp vanilla


Mix  together.  

Add to egg and sugar mixture:
1 1/2 cups almond flour (or almond meal - In a blender/processor, blend to make it more fine)
1/8 cup of  regular flour
1/8 cup of whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda (add an extra pinch for added lightness to the cookies)

Mix together.

The add:
1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, blended until fine.

Mix together.

Finally add:
1/2 cup of chopped/blended chocolate chips (I just use Nestle in the yellow bag!)

Mix together.  To make 30 cookies, drop by rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheet right away, and bake in oven for 12 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on the parchment, then move cookies to cooling rack with a metal spatula. They are a bit fragile, so they may crack or break a bit. I need to figure out something to help them bind just a bit better. but taste and texture wise - this works!

Your carb count?  The original recipe had 19 carbs per cookie.  This new recipe?  7.4 carbs per cookie!  (if I did my math right, lol! )  Enjoy!
