Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop evenly shaped balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Light Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or enjoy them on their own!
