Bess's Chocolate Chip Whole Grain Nuggets
by Vicki L. Sullivan

Mom began making this recipe in the 1980's when Healthy Family Cooking became popular. We were always Mom's "test samplers" for new recipes so we approached each new recipe with fear and trepidation. We were never easily converted to any food which had the title of "healthy" attached to it but this time she won all of us over! These cookies are delicious! And, I promise, "you won't eat just one!"

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheet with pam. Do not wash sheet after each baking; just scrape sheet and respray with pam.

2 c. whole wheat flour
