Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Healthy Cookie Recipe

You can satisfy your sweet tooth while also eating natural ingredients that are better for you without sacrificing great taste. Chocolate chip oatmeal is a classic cookie choice, but can be full of sugar, fat, and other undesirable ingredients. Not so with Laura’s Chocolate Chip Oatmeal healthy cookie recipe; these healthy cookies offer great taste like traditional cookies, but use ingredients that are better for your body. They are ideal as a small dessert after lunch, to serve guests at a party, or as a healthy treat for the kids. Delectable ingredients such as maple syrup replace refined white sugar, while salted organic butter and unprocessed sea salt are exchanged for conventional butter and salt. This healthy cookie also works well with Laura’s homemade ice cream, another healthy recipe which can also be found in the Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook. Unlike many other healthy cookie recipes, this Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookie is simple to make. So enjoy the delicious taste of chocolate, oatmeal and the crunch of walnut in this healthy cookie fresh from your oven.

Ingredients:

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted organic butter


• ½ cup expeller-pressed canola or sunflower oil


• 3 eggs


• 1 cup maple syrup


• 1 cup whole wheat flour


• 1 ½ cups unbleached white flour


• 2 teaspoons baking soda


• 2 teaspoons unprocessed sea salt


• 3 cups rolled oats


• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts


• ¾ cup chocolate chips, sweetened with grain or evaporated cane juice

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375*F
Cream the butter in a mixing bowl until light. Add the oil, eggs, and maple syrup, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl sift the flours, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well. If the dough seems too stiff, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to soften the dough.
Stir in the rolled oats. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just light golden.
