Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

When my mom was here visiting the kids and me last month, she brought me recipe galore ideas from AZ. This one really stood out so I made some. Then I realize, next time, I am going to forget the chocolate chips and add raisins. Then I thought...forget the raisins, how about some huckleberries or raspberries. So..anyways, if you make these, tell me and let me know what you tried..I am going to make some more next week or so without chocolate.

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teas baking soda
1/2 teas ground cinnamon
1/2 teas salt
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cups white sugar
2/3 cups brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 1/4 teas vanilla extract
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cups semisweet choco chips or chunks (4 oz) **I used milk chocolate chip.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a med size bowl. Whisk together oil, sugar, and brown sugar in a LARGE bowl. Whisk in egg whites and vanilla until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients (flour mixture) until blended. Fold in oats and then chocolate. (I had to add some drops of water because it was not sticking together as Id like)....Cover and chill for atleast 15 minutes.

Heat oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (**I didn't do the and I wish that I did** ). Shape dough into balls by hand. With fingers, press each into a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Allow 2 inches between patties. Bake 7-10 minutes. Let cool or eat.

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
