firewalking

Found this on WebMD and they are sooo yummy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup reduced-fat canola margarine (8 grams fat per tablespoon), with plant sterols, if desired

1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg (use a higher omega-3 brand if available)

1/4 cup egg substitute

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup unbleached white flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

3/4 to 1 cup pecan pieces or coarsely chopped pecans

1 1/2 cups high-cocoa bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or coat nonstick cookie sheets with canola cooking spray.
In large mixing bowl, beat margarine, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in egg, then egg substitute.
In medium bowl, combine flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Add flour mixture all at once to margarine mixture and beat on low speed just until mixed. With wooden spoon, stir in oats, pecans, and chocolate chips.
Use a slightly heaping cookie scoop to drop dough balls (about 3 tablespoons) onto prepared cookie sheets; press down on the balls slightly. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove cookies from oven, cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Yield: 15 breakfast cookies
