Prune Chocolate Chip Cookies
"Lower fat cookie where prunes replace some of the butter. My children actually prefer these to regular chocolate chip cookies. I always have a batch of these in the freezer for a quick snack. If you want to use white flour use 2 1/4 cups. Be careful how many you eat they can be dangerous!"

These are great to let your toddler think that he's getting full chocolate cookies! I made a few modifications: 1 cup of purée and no white sugar. 2 tsp of vanilla and 1/2tsp of almond extract. 1 cup of dark chocolate chips (50% cacao) is enough for a toddler! It is better to cream the butter with the sugar before adding other wet ingredients. Super yummy and somewhat healthy! -
A fantastic twist on a classic recipe, very easy to make and delicious.

I am the mother of two wonderful boys, Henry and Thomas. Henry has very exotic taste and would eat olives and extra strong cheese all day if I let him. Thomas is a more basic creature who eats just about anything. I am married to Michael who must be a saint for not only loving me but eating anything I make! I lived in England for 10 years but have recently moved to British Columbia. I have always been a Canadian through and through. I was a primary/elementary school teacher but now I am at home with my two boys! Saturday mornings used to be for sleeping in but lately they have turned into our baking time before Daddy gets up. How life changes!
