Cookies can pass for a breakfast as long as they have oatmeal in them, right?! I had a sweet tooth recently and was trying to create a bit healthier oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – better than the typical junk food we have around. You know you are on to a scrumptious recipe when entire batches of cookies disappear within hours. Yeah, my fam can be a tough crowd when it comes to good food but they absolutely love these cookies!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I don’t want you to think harshly of my crew, but I’ll say this statement again: my crew can be hard to please when it comes to their taste buds. Isn’t every family this way? Not only are these cookies a bit healthier than most, they are also very easy to make.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Just so you know, I don’t claim to be a nutritionist, but I know that these cookies offer more wholesomeness than most cookies we buy. AmIright?! You’ll find a printable recipe card below but I’ll share the basic process for the oatmeal chocolate cookies. You’ll beat the butter and sugars until smooth, throw the next few ingredients in the bowl to mix and then drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet to bake.
Easy Peasy!
