HERITAGE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
With its use of lower glycemic date sugar and brown rice syrup, this is a healthier version of the alltime favorite American cookie. They give a satisfying sweetness without spiking your blood sugar levels through the roof. We also used freshly ground red fife heritage wheat in place of modern red wheat, which adds a nutty sweet flavor and warm toasty color. Try it. Hide the recipe, and no one will know they're eating cookies that likely won't contribute to their early demise. In fact, they just might make you smile. Use organic ingredients where possible. Based on a recipe from PBS's "Christina Cooks".

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Cream together the butter, date sugar, brown rice syrup, and vanilla extract in a mixer or using a spatula by hand in a large bowl .
- In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and combine well.
- Add the optional chopped pecans should you choose to, stirring until well incorporated. Finally add the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop (or well rounded teaspoon) to drop dough onto a prepared cookie sheet , allowing about 2" for expansion.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet (you won't want to wait much longer!). The tiered baker's sheet cooling rack is perfect for this purpose, or you may opt to remove the cookies to a more traditional cooling rack . Either way, enjoy! (with minimal guilt)
