As a 75 1/2 year old, I went from Crisco, to Margarine, and finally...BUTTER, the secret ingredient in everything. I actually found a butter flavoring that made my pre-butter cookie recipe a real secret. I withheld the "butter flavoring" when I gave out the recipe How ever you feel about chilling or just getting the baking over with...use butter. There is nothing in the world that will make cookies healthy, especially my oatmeal chocolate chip recipe, so I will not even try. I will try chilling overnight. If that makes them better, I am thrilled. I will have the pleasure of withholding one step in the preparation. Thanks for the heads up. P.S. for the last 10 years, I have used whole wheat flour....same great cookie just better.
