Low Fat WholeWheat-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Having my dearest MIL & FIL over for a visit @ my place, i thought i'd give them a lil taste of my baking addiction, in fact i've been itching for almost over a month & a half to get my hands on my owen...Boy - O - Boy was i happy....Baking makes my heart skip a couple of beats with happines...!!
With Chocolate & Biscuit being a new addition to my trilingual 18 month old's awesomely mixed up, yet growing dictionary i decided to give her a healthy dose of a combination of what she's been eagerly wanting to eat just all of other than what is called Healthy food for a child of her age...& as a cherry on top she has her Paternal Grandparent's spoiling her to the G, what more could she ask for...?? anything you name she has it before she "SCREAM'S " her lungs out ...!!

So much so i am seriously giving a thought of putting her on to a play school ASAP...and drive in some discipline into the lil Brat...!!!

Well chocolate always send's in a sense of powerful guilt after an utterly awesome and extremely immense feeling of powerless-ness while having these heavenly goodies..!! I was inspired by Traditional Oatmeal cookies on Gourmet.com & decided to however just making a small attempt to try and make ourselves feel less guilt with a few changes here & there..!!

Also can be treated as and awesome serve warm cookie after school or a great treat to get packed away in your kids lunch box, however if you prefer to omit chocolate chips, i'd suggest raisins which go equally well or you could even experiment with even equal amount's of both... they taste divine..!!
