OUTRAGEOUS Oatmeal (flour) Chocolate Chip Cookies image

In my quest to make the ULTIMATE Chocolate Chip cookie, one that's healthier than most, I decided to play around with oatmeal. I was never a big fan of traditional oatmeal cookies, but grinding up the oatmeal to use in place of regular flour in cookies sounded both interesting and healthy. My biggest critics (my family) thinks these are by far the best "healthy" chocolate chip cookie they've ever had! Hope you do too!

Time 43m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups ground oatmeal (to flour consistency)
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons instant coffee, finely ground
12 ounces chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Before starting, grind enough oatmeal in the food processor to make the necessary 1 3/4 cups you will need to make these cookies! Or, if you're lucky enough to find Oat Flour, use that!
  • With electric mixer, blend butter with both sugars, egg and vanilla extract.
  • Add dry ingredients to mixture- blend well.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon golf ball-size balls of mixture onto prepared cookie sheets (either use cooking spray or parchment paper).
  • Bake at 265 degrees for 23 minutes (yes, I know this sounds strange, but trust me, it works!).
  • Enjoy!
