Recently, while skimming through the blog $5 Dinners, I found this post for "Chocolate Chip Cookies-Healthified." While mistakes in the kitchen don't bother me (it's getting in there and trying that counts) grammar really gets me going. It personally peeves me when people make up their own words, especially if those words are deceiving. "Healthified" is not a word, and this recipe is not healthy. Annoyance does not begin to describe my feeling about this recipe.
Like any good American, I am all for a good chocolate chip cookie; however, chocolate chip cookie recipes are a dime a dozen. I was genuinely intrigued when I saw the title of this one, since it is claiming to be healthy, as well as delicious. This recipe is a far cry from being sold at nutrition stores. It is essentially the same as any other chocolate chip cookie recipe, only instead of white flour, whole wheat flour is used, and some flaxseed is thrown in for good measure. Flaxseed, while full of nutrition, is expensive. I for one, am not about to go buy some just to make so-called healthy cookies. Let's hop off the health-nut bandwagon, and call a cookie a cookie.
