Wheatena Cookies are a classic American treat that have been enjoyed by families for generations. These round, crispy cookies are characterized by their unique flavor and texture, which comes from the combination of whole wheat flour and oats. This unique cookie is easy to prepare and typically only requires a few basic ingredients, including butter, sugar, oats, wheatena, flour and baking powder. Whether you are looking for a nostalgic comfort food or a simple yet delicious snack, wheatena cookies can satisfy your cravings. Their crispy texture and slightly sweet flavor make them a perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea, and their wholesome ingredients make them a healthier choice than many other cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients (pumpkin, milk, egg, butter and syrup) mixing well.
- In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients (flour, Wheatena, sugar, baking powder and salt), I like to use a fork for this.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until moistened. Stir in 3/4 cup of crasins.
- Spray 16 medium silicon muffin cups, set on a cookie sheet, with butter flavored baking spray. Spoon mixture into cups, filling each cup about 75% full (or to line if there is one). If desired sprinkle top with oats and additional craisins, then spray tops with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (I recommend you do, it makes the muffins much prettier).
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This is the baking time if you're using the silicon baking cups, if you're not I would check them at 15 minutes.

WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This healthier version of the original chocolate chip cookie is still chewy and full of flavor. I came up with this recipe on my own so that I could feel a little less guilty about snacking on my favorite sweet treat. Unfortunately, I think they are so delicious that I tend to eat more than I should!

Steps:
- 375 - 10-12 mins Cream butter and sugars till light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beat till fluffy. Combine dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture. Add chips and nuts. Drop rounded on ungreased cookie sheet. Yields 5 dozen
Tips:
- To make the cookies chewier, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have any butter, you can use vegetable oil instead. However, the cookies will be less rich and flavorful.
- For a crispy cookie, bake them at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time.
- If you want a softer cookie, bake them at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
