All-Bran Chocolate Chip Cookies

Not too much cooking has been happening at our house this week. It’s hot outside and I just don’t feel like cooking. Thankfully I had all those meals I made at Your Secret Kitchen to keep us going. I’ve also been a little creative with some leftovers in the fridge. I actually turned leftover roast, the few remaining spoonfuls of salsa, a can of beans and leftover gazpacho into chili last night. Yes, the heat index is close to 100 and I made chili, welcome to my world! I realized later that the gazpacho had cucumbers in it, oh well, you can’t taste them!

So what do I have to share with you? Cookies! I don’t make baked goods very often but I had a box of All-Bran in the pantry that I had purchased to make cookies with before little one arrived. I decided to whip up another batch since they were so very very yummy! These have a different taste from Toll House chocolate chip cookie (I LOVE those too!) but the difference is subtle.

I mixed together milk chocolate with dark chocolate chips that I had left over from making fudge and that was fantastic! I add walnuts if I have them, if not I don’t think that the cookies suffer. I don’t buy margarine so I used butter.

2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup Kellogg's® All-Bran® Original cereal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 package (6 oz., 1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate morsels

1. Stir together flour, soda and salt. Set aside.

2.  In large mixing bowl, beat together margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Mix in hot water. Add KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN ORIGINAL cereal, flour mixture, walnuts and chocolate morsels, mixing until combined. Drop by teaspoon onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray.

3.  Bake at 375°F about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Store in airtight container.
