All my life, I have loved shortbread cookies. I usually buy Walker brand, from Scotland, which are, thankfully, still made with real butter. I love the sandy texture, the sweet taste.

But most of all, I love the butter. Butter is not only delicious, it’s also very good for you.

Someone once told me I should change the name of this blog from CHEESESLAVE to BUTTERSLAVE. It’s a tough call. I love them both.

These chocolate chip cookies are not only delectable, they are nutritious and healthy. Sprouted whole wheat flour, non-GMO chocolate chips, sea salt, grass-fed butter and pastured eggs, and natural mineral-rich sweeteners make truly healthy chocolate chip cookies. Hence, they earn the title, Best Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Oatmeal cookies are my father-in-law’s favorite thing in the whole wide world. He can’t live without them. But oatmeal is very high in phytic acid, which prevents mineral absorption. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. I developed this recipe for oatmeal cookies in which the oatmeal is soaked in warm water and whey to help break down the phytic acid — so the precious minerals can be absorbed. Soaking also helps to make grains more digestible. This recipe does take more time to prepare than your standard oatmeal cookie recipe — but I feel it is worth it for the health benefits.
