Glimmer, over on the Crohn's Forum, shared with me this great receipe for Chocolate Chip cookies. I haven't tried them yet, but will this weekend. I couldn't wait to post, so even if the blog isn't about writing or books, it might get you healthy and satisfy that sweet tooth, too.
From Glimmer: Here's the cookie recipe! I'm not sure if all of these ingredients will work for you but you could play around with substitutions as needed.
1 3/4 cups oat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking
soda1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar or splenda brown sugar (or a mix)
1/2 cup sugar or splenda (or a mix)
1/3 cup canola oil or melted margarine
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
1/4 cup soy milk (I think I used vanilla flavored; almond milk probably would work, too)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, vegan chocolate chips, carob chips, or perhaps raw cacao nibs, such as:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Sift together oat flour, baking soda, and salt
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flax meal and soy milk
4. Add sugar, vanilla, and oil and mix until well combined
5. Fold wet ingredients into dry
6. Fold in chocolate chips
7. Drop by tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheet
8. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden
9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on pan, then remove with a spatula and let cool completely on
a cooling rack
Enjoy!
