Chocolate Chip Muesli Cookies

As a sweets lover, I am usually turned off by the idea of health conscious desserts, but when I was shown this recipe and was given the chance to try these cookies, my feelings began to change.  They may look like a messy pile of ingredients, but the combination is delicious! The cookies are called muesli cookies and can be found on the side of Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli.  Muesli is usually used as a cold or hot cereal, but on the side of the bag there is a delicious recipe called Chocolate Chip Muesli Cookies. Like I said, I was skeptical to try the cookies but once I did there was no question that they were a winning cookie.  They are a soft, chunky cookie with tons of delicious flavor!
Here is the recipe!
Enjoy!
