Whole Wheat, Sugar-Free CC Cookies

TT and I are eating healthier, cleaner food these days. In order to stick to this lifestyle, I had to come up with something to satisfy our sweet tooth without compromising flavor. I did a bit of research and came up with a healthy and sugar-free version of our favorite family chocolate chip cookie. 

I went to the grocery store and bought some whole wheat pastry flour as I read that this is worlds better then using all-purpose flour in baked goods. Its finer, therefore creating a fluffy texture, as you would expect in baked goods. I could not get away from absolutely no sugar because I have yet to find a substitute for brown sugar and vanilla and I have not found sugar-free chocolate chips.

Wee Bear is already whining! He had just discovered his new favorite dish at Gianfrancos  in North Scottsdale, and now he has his frowny face here in Seattle. So, last night I surprised him with my rendition of his favorite dish at Gianfrancos. Every time he ordered it, he would say, "this is a JJ sauce, you can make this!" I just smile, he is such a great supporter of my endeavors.

Laura, my step daughter, wanted a very special pillow for Jacob's nursery. She looked every where, and just couldn't find, " Just the right one"! I got wind of this, and asked if I could help. She loved the idea of having me make a custom pillow for little Jacob. She is designing Jacob's nursery around sports, so, I came up with a few ideas, she and I shopped for fabric together and I was off!
