These cookies are hands down, the best I have ever tasted in my entire life...EVER. NO exceptions!! They are slightly crispy on the outside, while being soft on the inside with just the right amount of gooey chocolate chips. Their wholesome yet addictively delicious taste makes it just about impossible to stop eating them!! The best part: My 7 and 10 year old daughters make them without me even stepping foot in the kitchen...In fact, I had to ask them for the recipe! Hint: Don't make the mistake of making single batch. ;-p
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup softened butter--NOT melted (around 30 seconds in the microwave)
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 T milk
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (preferable Ghirardelli)
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2) Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3) Using a mixer, cream the sugar with the softened butter for about a minute. Add the egg and mix for another minute. Add the vanilla and milk and mix again.
5) Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, with the mixer on low. Mix just until the flour disappears. Don't overmix.
6) Add the oats and mix. Add chocolate chips and mix.
7) Form rounded cookie dough balls using about 1 T of dough. Don't make them too dense. Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
8) Bake cookies for 13 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. They should be "puffy" when they come out. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes to set up. Then move to a cooling rack. Makes around 16 cookies.
