Dark Chocolate Chunk-Granola Cookies
Recipe Tip
Dark Chocolate Delight
Dark chocolate contains some antioxidants that may help cells fight off oxygen damage. Just don't overdo it since chocolate also has plenty of calories and fat.
More Whole Grain
To boost whole grains, reduce the all-purpose flour by 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in its place.
