High Fiber Cookies

1c. butter or margarine
1c. honey
2 eggs
3t. vanilla
1t. baking soda
3&3/4-4c. whole wheat flour
1c. chopped nuts (optional)
1-2c. chocolate chips for taste (optional)

In mixing bowl, cream butter and honey.  Add eggs and beat.  Add vanilla, baking soda, and flour, slowly, and blend well.  Stir in nuts and chocolate chips, if desired.  Cut 2 sheets of waxed paper.  Divide dough in half, placing a half on each sheet.  Shape dough into logs, using paper to help you shape.  Wrap paper around logs and chill dough at least 1 hour in refrigerator or 10 min. in freezer.  Slice cookies 1/8-1/4 inch in width.  Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350℉ for 8-10 min.  Makes 6-8 dozen.  

**If you're feeling adventurous and want to add more fiber, try adding some oatmeal (maybe 1c.) to the cookie dough--may need less flour.

**Feeling more adventurous and want to add more fiber?  Try adding flaked coconut (maybe 1c.) to the cookie dough.  (Do some experimenting of your own.)
