One of the most requested recipes to add to my site has been these One Bowl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. I just haven’t gotten around to getting them on here! Every time someone asked I would reply that I would get them on my site soon. Well, here they are, and I think you won’t just love the cookies, but love how easy they are to make!
Why are they so great? They’re one of those easy-to-make, go-to recipes, that I whip up when we need to take something somewhere. They are the cookies I make to pack into my kid’s lunch for a treat. They are seriously one of the easiest cookies to make that turn out great EVERY TIME.
To add to the greatness of this recipe, they have half the sugar and butter of traditional recipes! Yay! Who doesn’t want a healthier version of a household favorite? And once you eat this cleaner, healthier version it’s hard to go back. Everything else will taste SOOOO SWEET! My kids even comment on storebought or even homemade cookies and say they are just too sweet.
If these cookies make it a day around our house it’s a miracle. I usually save my husband a big spoonful of the dough to eat for a treat. He gratefully thanks me, and when I turn around he has the oven door open scooping more dough off of the cookie sheet to eat! I guess what they say about dough is true…..good dough, good cookie, and these One Bowl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are some gooood cookies!

Different variations of these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I have made many variations of these cookies. Here are some things I have done.
- You can add a ½ cup of shredded coconut.
- I have added a tablespoon of chia seeds or fresh ground flaxseed.
- Chia eggs also work as a great egg replacement and you can use chia egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for a couple of minutes.
- The flax egg cookies taste just as good and are worth doing to add extra fiber!
- I have made these gluten-free which I will make a separate post on because they were delicious!
- I have used brown sugar in place of granulated sugar and they turn out great!
- I have flattened these with a spoon before baking and made Ice cream sandwiches with them!
- You can add a ½ of a cup of cranberries to these cookies to make them festive around the holiday!
- I like to change up the flavor of these cookies by adding in a ½ of a teaspoon of cinnamon, cardamom, or a couple of pinches of nutmeg.
Why do I use coconut oil?
Most recipes for similar cookies call for 2 sticks of butter or one cup. I find that because coconut oil is more “oily” adding a few tablespoons of it allows me to eliminate a whole other stick of butter. It also gives the cookies a nice crispy bottom but the top of the cookie remains soft. Yum! I like to use refined coconut oil because it doesn’t taste like coconuts. If you prefer the coconut taste you can add unrefined coconut oil!

Hallå där! Jag snubblade över den här portalen när jag läste en recension om digital underhållning i SE. Jag var främst ute efter online casino bets som kändes rättvisa och snabba. Tidigare hade jag förlorat en hel del och kände mig ganska uppgiven. Inne på Swiper lyckades jag dock pricka in en riktig fullträff på deras slots online. Det täckte inte bara mina gamla insatser utan gav mig också ett rejält överskott.

Ich mag solche Rezepte, weil alles in einer Schüssel zu machen den Aufwand reduziert und den Ablauf unkompliziert hält, besonders wenn man keine Lust auf viel Aufräumen hat, das erinnert mich daran, wie ich mir nach einem langen Tag bewusst einfache Dinge suche, um abzuschalten, in einer solchen Pause bin ich auf https://royalsea.ch gestoßen, die Boni für Spieler aus der Schweiz haben mich angesprochen, ich habe ein paar Runden Book of Dead gespielt, zuerst lief es nicht gut, dann mit etwas mehr Einsatz kam ein solider Gewinn, und dieser kurze Wechsel hat mir geholfen, danach wieder entspannter in meinen Alltag zurückzukehren.

Si vous êtes comme moi et que vous prêtez attention au taux de retour aux joueurs (RTP) avant de lancer un jeu, vous savez que toutes les plateformes ne se valent pas et que certaines sont très gourmandes. J’ai récemment transféré mon budget de divertissement sur https://wildfortunes.ca/fr après avoir remarqué qu’ils proposaient une excellente sélection de jeux avec des statistiques très justes. J’ai tenté ma chance sur quelques titres à haute volatilité et j’ai finalement décroché un multiplicateur impressionnant sur The Dog House. Le retrait a été traité en un temps record, ce qui prouve qu’ils prennent le marché canadien très au sérieux et paient rubis sur l’ongle.
