One Bowl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe is made healthier with half the butter and sugar of typical recipes!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter at room temperature
- 3 tablespoon refined coconut oil soft or melted
- 1 egg
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
- ½ cup unbleached flour
- 2 cups oats I use old-fashioned or quick oats
- ½ cup chocolate chips of your choice or more depending on your taste
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a medium bowl whisk butter, coconut oil, and sugar together until creamy and smooth. (make sure your butter is at room temperature and very soft.)
- Whisk in egg, vanilla, and salt until completely incorporated and smooth.
- With a wooden spoon mix in flour, oats, chocolate chips, and nuts.
- Spoon onto an un-greased cookie sheet a tablespoon at a time.
- Bake on 350 for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are brown around the edges.
- Pull out of the oven and eat warm!
Notes
*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.
- 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!
