I want to post my new favorite chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe....AWESOME

I found it in the "Diabetic Living" magazine. It's a great source of deliciously simple, and simply delicious recipes whether you're diabetic or just interested in NOT becoming diabetic. :)

SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 cup rolled oats (you can get mixed grains at the health food store)

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar (or Splenda brown sugar blend)

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 - 6 oz container plain low-fat yogurt (that's 3/4 cup of plain yogurt)

2 eggs (I like to use 3 for more protein, and then a little more flour if necessary)

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cup flour (I use 1 cup wheat and 1 1/4 cups white)

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate pieces (12 oz)

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spread oats in a shallow baking pan. Bake 10 minutes or until toasted, stirring once; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, and salt; beat until combined. Beat in yogurt, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in oats, and any remaining flour. Stir in chocolate pieces.

3. Drop dough by rounded tsp 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

PREPARE FOR YUMMY GOODNESS! Oh my goodness these cookies are the BEST EVER! They are soft, delicious, and addictive! That added yogurt is brilliant....who knew?
