Healthy Cookies

Submitted by: Sophia Aashna Dhaliwal

Ingredients :

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup of soft butter
• 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 and 1/2 cups oat flour (regular oats blended)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

• Take regular old fashioned oats or quick oats and blend them until they resemble a flour or powder in a blender or food processor. Combine the vanilla extract, large egg, and brown sugar in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil, butter and let it cool slightly before adding to the bowl. Beat everything together until just combined.
• Stir in the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and then fold in the dark chocolate chips.
• Chill the dough for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop out balls of the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Press a few more chocolate chips in the tops if desired.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
• Remove and allow to stay on the baking sheet for another 2 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack. Make sure you cool completely before eating them or they will likely crumble to pieces! Enjoy!
