Yummy Butterscotch Chip Drop Cookies

These cookies turned out really delicious.  Nice texture and so easy to make.  No butter or margarine or shortening in this recipe!!!  I always use fresh ground whole wheat flour to make this treat healthier!  Try it, you'll like it.  You could also substitute peanut butter chips, or mint chips or chocolate chips, etc.  Nuts would also be very good.

Combine in Bosch Universal Plus Mixer bowl, using the Cookie Paddles with Metal Drive:

4 eggs
1 1/3 Cups Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 1/2 Cups Sugar

Add and stir in:
1 Teaspoon Salt
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
3 1/2 - 3 3/4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour

Add:

12 Oz. Butterscotch Chips (or other flavors of chips)

Dough will be soft, but bakes up nicely.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet treated with non-stick spray.  Bake 8 - 9 minutes until set or lightly brown.  DO NOT OVER BAKE!  Allow to cool slightly before transferring to cooling rack.  Enjoy!  May be frozen.  Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies.

Mint Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

I made these cookies for Thanksgiving.  Our family and friends loved them and went back for seconds, thirds and fourths!  They are so easy and are pretty.  I love that they contain no butter or margarine or shortening!  I used olive oil.  I also used 100% fresh ground whole wheat flour.  HINT:  These cookies will be more of a true "green" if you use white flour in place of the whole wheat.  But, they were still pretty using the light brown whole wheat flour.  And a lot healthier!  The Pure Peppermint Extract can be found in the baking section of your grocery store near the vanilla.

Combine in Bosch Universal Plus Mixer bowl until mixture thickens:

4 eggs
1 1/3 Cups of Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Pure Peppermint Extract (or to taste)
6 Drops Green Food Coloring (or to desired color)
2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 1/2 Cups Sugar

Add:

3 1/2 to 3 3/4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (Freshly ground is best!)
1 Teaspoon Salt
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder

Add:

12 Oz. Chocolate Chips (I used semi-sweet).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet treated with non-stick spray.  Bake 8-9 minutes until set or light brown.  Do not over bake.  Allow to cool slightly before transferring to cooling rack.  Enjoy!  May be frozen. Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies.
