Can you tell I was sick for a week and out of the kitchen??? By Thursday of last week I was just dying to start making stuff again and was in the mood for some healthy cookies. There are many days I feel guilty about giving L store bought snacks, as one of the perks of being a stay at home mom is being able to bake and cook and make healthier, delicious things (and...don't worry...I'm not turning into Kourtney and becoming a label junkie and only feeding my family organic, gluten free food!!) I thought
this recipe would be a good one to try. The only thing I didn't have were the Coach's Oats. I had steel cut oats on hand so I decided to use them. I should have just ran out and gotten old fashioned oats because these cookies weren't soft and chewy like the recipe promised. They were harder. But L is still loving them up!
I gathered up my ingredients...
...and then beat the oil, brown sugar, and egg.
Then, I added the rest of the stuff and beat until it was mixed. Doesn't get much easier than that!!
I took my cookie scoop and scooped the dough out onto baking sheets. I didn't get close to 24 cookies...maybe I made them too big!
Baked for 10 minutes and there you have it....healthier chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!!
As they were cooling, I was dealing with this mess...
And L somehow stole 3 cookies off the cooling rack and devoured them!! Little stinker!
