Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

these crispy-at-the-edges, chewy-inside cookies were among the first ones I made when I got into baking, after finding the recipe here. I adapted it to my liking with time!

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour [scooped up and leveled]
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 t baking soda
pinch sea salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/4 cup pecan pieces [or simply add a bit more chocolate, dried fruit, or other nuts]
2 (T) and a heaping 1/2 T chunky natural peanut butter
1 T vegetable oil [any mild-tasting oil will do!]
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 T soy milk or other milk alternative
1 t pure vanilla extract

set oven to 400 degrees. prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.

whisk all wet ingredients together until smooth.
ift flour, baking soda and salt together. add rest of dry ingredients to flour.
add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mix until well combined.

divide into 8 equal portions, and place on cookie sheet. flatten a bit as these don’t spread much while baking.
bake for approximately 7 minutes: you want them to be golden brown on top.
leave on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then place on a rack to let cool completely.

yield: 8 large cookies

    If this isn’t my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe, I don’t know what is. I’ve tried so many variations of this- chocolate chunks, carob chips, even leaving out chocolate altogether….and they are always a hit among my family and friends! Thanks for a great recipe!

    i love your cookies:)
    they were a good texture and i love how they have no eggs, cow milk, or butter. I used spelt flour and mixed nuts and they were great! thanks for a good recipe.

    dude, these are pretty darn low-fat, for cookies – only a tiny bit of oil! ohhhh, I’m stoked. using nut butter to emulsify is a great idea – I’m going to go for sunflower seed butter and trail mix in mine :)

    I’m sure it could, as long as you measure it melted to have the same amount.

    These are fantastic. I served them to my omnivorous friends and they exclaimed something too x-rated to be repeated here. In essence, they liked them a lot. Thanks for the easy recipe!
