Health and fertility benefits of Whole Wheat and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted sweet butter
1/2 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour
1 large egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup oat bran

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

2. Beat room-temperature unsalted butter into the brown and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth.

3. Add the egg, vanilla, and mayonnaise; combine until smooth.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, saving the chocolate chips and cranberries for last.

5. Using a tablespoon, scoop up 2" balls of dough and lay them 2" apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. You can dip the tablespoon in a glass of water between scoops to keep the dough from sticking.

6. Bake for 12 minutes.

7. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 2 minutes.

8. Enjoy!
