GRANDMA'S HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

This recipe is from my Grandma Louthan. She eats incredibly healthy and somehow still manages to make food taste good. I always love eating her cookies when I go to her house. It's some sort of nostalgia that reminds me of going to her house growing up.. because grandma's cookies are always the best, right?
