Whole Wheat and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal
• 1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted sweet butter
• 2/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup oat bran
• 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
2. Beat room-temperature unsalted butter into the brown and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the egg, vanilla, and mayonnaise; combine until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, saving the chocolate chips and cranberries for last.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop up 2" balls of dough and lay them 2" apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. You can dip the tablespoon in a glass of water between scoops to keep the dough from sticking.
6. Bake for 12 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 2 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
