 Optional toppings of coconut and pecans stay put better if you press them lightly into cookie dough tops. Pecan halves stay put better than pecan pieces which tend to roll off when sprinkled on top. |

This recipe from the BHG.com website was developed as a healthier alternative to outright decadent German chocolate cake. Rolled oats and flax meal are substitutes for part of the all purpose flour, and butter and sugar have been reduced. I resisted the urge to tweak ingredients as I often do, and was pleasantly surprised that they are quite good just as they are. The oatmeal and flax are indistinguishable and add nicely to the chewy texture. Chocoholics will get their “fix” with a couple of these tasty cookies.
