Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal and Bean Cookies! image

I know, it sounds crazy.And I'll admit, I was definitely skeptical. But these are delightful, VERY low in fat, and VERY high in fiber and protein. Trust me on this one, once they've come out of the oven, NO ONE will be able to tell these are based on white beans!
