Whole Grain Cookies

There are a couple of ways you can make this recipe. You can make a healthier chocolate-chip cookie out of this dough, or you can use healthy alternatives like nuts and dried fruit (cranberries and pecans anyone?!) for a healthy whole wheat cookie. My favorite is cinnamon chips and pecans. If you opt for no chips, omit the orange juice.

You can use the traditional rolled oats (old-fashioned) rather than quick oats, just give them a quick whirl in the food processor. They give a smoother-looking cookie. If you want an even smoother looking cookie, whirl the quick rolled oats until finely ground in the food processor also.
