Semi-healthy Chocolate Chip Caramel Shortbreads

Hello Friends!

Most of my recipes on this blog aren’t revolutionary.  Tasty, but really, I am just a college gal who has a love for baking and nutrition, not a culinary genius.  Some recipes I have simply modified from other recipes, which of course I cite those sources.  This is one of those instances.

I debated on even adding this to my Recipage list of recipes, but you know what?  I use my recipe database a lot and just for my benefit, [and maybe yours ;)] I think I will file this recipe away since I will probably be making it again.

We made these cookies at the Christmas baking party (#1) and I was a little nervous because I used all whole wheat flour and not everyone enjoys the taste as much as I do.  I think they taste awesome, but of course you can always make it with plain flour.  Or a mixture of the two.  It’s up to you!! 🙂

They aren’t too sweet but they go amazingly well with a warm cup of tea.

And I think I figured out why shortbread cookies are different than regular…or at least the difference in these cookies versus the others I make.  These have powdered sugar and no eggs.  Is that what shortbread is?  (See, not a culinary genius, but learning!)

Seriously, I’d love to take super duper posed and gorgeous pictures like this:

But who has the time?  Or a large coffee mug to put the cookies into?

Stay tuned for another cookie post…this time with Christmas sugar cookies!  And hot chocolate cupcakes!!  Because it’s a snow day and all I have to do is chillax in front of the fireplace and drool over food pictures on pinterest. 😉
