Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe blends quick oats and whole wheat flour with cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt for depth of flavor and texture. Melted butter mixes with vanilla, egg, and honey to form a sweet, moist base. Dark chocolate chips are chopped and folded in, contributing a rich chocolate element.
Refrigerating the dough for about 30 minutes before shaping allows the cookies to bake up thicker and hold shape on the parchment-lined sheet. Baking at 325°F for 12-13 minutes produces cookies with a tender center and slightly crisp edges.
The cookies yield roughly 12 to 15 portions, making them suitable for sharing or keeping as a wholesome snack with a controlled sweetness.
The source recipe is adapted from Amy’s Healthier Chocolate Treats, emphasizing a balanced flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour spooned and leveled
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt scant
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips divided, up to 3/4 cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Pull out 2 medium bowls, one for dry ingredients, one for wet.
- In one bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Melt the butter in the other bowl. You don't have to melt it all the way, if there are a couple lumps it's okay. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the vanilla, then the egg. Whisk in the honey.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir until it has just come together (don't overdo it).
- Save out about half of the chocolate chips. Use a sharp knife to roughly chop the remaining chocolate, then fold it into the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, or freeze for about 15 minutes.
- Use your hands to shape the dough into roughly 15 cookies (or 12 if you eat a lot of dough like me...)
- Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-13 minutes, or until they have just started to brown on the edges.
- Once you remove them from the oven, immediately press the remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
- Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
- Drink with lots of milk!
Notes
- This recipe is adapted slightly from Amy’s book Healthier Chocolate Treats to focus on wholesome ingredients.
