Servings: 4 dozen
Calories: 131kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2½ cups whole oats powdered in a blender until a flour-like consistency
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or spelt flour
- 12 ounces 1 bag chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- In the bowl of a mixer (or a large bowl), cream the butter and sugars then add the eggs and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered oats, salt, soda, baking powder, and whole wheat flour and mix well - the dough will be fairly stiff.
- Mix in the chocolate and nuts, if using.
- Place tablespoon sizes of dough on a cookie sheet, greased or lined with a baking mat or parchment and slightly flatten.
- Bake in a 375 oven for 8 to 8-1/2 minutes. Do not overbake -they may not look done, but will firm up as they cool, remaining a soft cookie.
- Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for a few days or freeze immediately for fresh-tasting cookies anytime.
