Blueberry Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

On July 2, 2021

These are my favorite cookies. Delicious!!!!

2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1 cup(2 sticks) country crock, or unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet, or Hersheys dark, chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine flour, baking soda, oatmeal & cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat country crock or butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar & vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beating after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and blueberries.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
These are great served with a cold glass of milk.

Health Benefits
Even though these are cookies, they do have a few healthful ingredients.
Cinnamon is great for helping lower cholesterol and blood sugar and reduce arthritis pain.
Oatmeal provides fiber.
I use the Country Crock which contains calcium plus Vitamin D.
Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and helps lower blood pressure.
Blueberries are also full of antioxidants and help improve memory, protect against aging, cancer, heart disease, urinary tract infections, constipation and improve mood.
