DAY 22: Chocolate Chip Cookies (without the oats)

I decided to give it another go with the Chocolate Chip Cookies. I also decided to leave out the oats this time. Unfortunately, before I made them, Bailey begged me to tell him the special ingredient. So I assured him, there were no oats this time, but there is something called "Chickpeas" (Garbanzo Beans). He said he would try 1 bite. He did, and said he could taste the special ingredient. I'm thinking, it was the oats AND garbanzo beans he was tasting last time. Maybe I just didn't grind them up enough. I will have to make them pastier next time. Bailey really love the toll house recipe I make, so he'd like me to make them again sometime. I should add the chickpea paste to that without telling him.  That's when the real fun begins... when I am beginning to hide things in normal food I make, that I know he will eat. I actually loved the way the cookies turned out tonight. I am not a fan of oats myself.
Another special ingredient: If you read Brian's Facebook status tonight, you would know that Reese spit in the batter bowl. She was tasting the beaters, and decided she didn' like it. When I had my back turned, she spit it back in (I think I she realized she shouldn't have done it right as she was doing it, but it was too late). When I caught her, her response was "Sorry - I don't like Chippies" (chickpeas). Don't worry, I got it out quickly, and didn't bake that part.
After Bailey rejected the cookie, I didn't make him finish it. But I did offer him a brownie (with Spinach & carrots). He took a good sized nibble, and wasn't impressed. He doesn't like bready things. No muffins, cakes, etc. He only likes white bread, rolls and donuts. So I wasn't surprised he didn't really like the brownie. Oh well, it was worth a shot... I am trying to think of a way to make my own white. His favorite staple food is peanut Butter & Honey Sandwiches. Hmmm... I will have to get creative on this one. Cauliflower is white... this just might work.
