Outrageously Awesome Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies


The title says it all! These are "the" perfect oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and of course the recipe can be adapted to really contain any kind of goodies.  Substitute or add raisins, walnuts, dried apricot, you name it.  If adding to the choco chips, you'll have to reduce their amount a bit.

Yields: about 2 dozen

ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats; quick or whole
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup light oil (I use sunflower)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup of something else; raisins, chopped walnuts, dried apricots, etc.
method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Prepare several cookie sheets, I like to cover them with parchment paper.

In a large bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt and whisk together to mix.

In a small bowl combine the water, oil and vanilla extract, stir well to combine.

Pour liquid ingredients over dry, mix well to form a stiff dough.  Add in chocolate chips and other goodies.

Drop tablespoon sized balls of the dough onto your prepared cookie sheet, about 2" apart.  Bake 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.  

Remove from oven, but let cookies cool on pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

Watch them magically disappear!
