Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

This Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe has been modified and essentially created by my wonderful mother who absolutely loves cookies.

She created a healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe that she doesn’t have to feel bad about eating. She even considers them as a healthy snack, because, hey, who eats plain oatmeal?

There’s always a little sugar thrown in there and dark semi-sweet chocolate chips are good for you (all those antioxidants). So what’s not to love about these cookies?

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.

  2. Emma Henzes

    Whisk together the flour, oats, and baking soda.

  3. Emma Henzes

    Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.

  4. Emma Henzes

    Add the egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla. Mix well.

  5. Emma Henzes

    Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture.

  6. Emma Henzes

    Add the chocolate chips, and maybe a few extra for good luck.

  7. Emma Henzes

    Freeze the mixture for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes. You want the batter to be stiff after.

  8. Emma Henzes

    Drop the mixture by heaping two tablespoons onto a parchment paper-lined cookie tray.

  9. Emma Henzes

    Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden.

    After the cookies cool, you can make cute, healthy ice cream sandwiches by putting a dollop of Halo Top Ice Cream in between two cookies!

I study broadcast and digital journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I absolutely love food. My friends and family often refer to me as a total foodie. I'm glad to have found a community of people at Spoon U who share my passion for all things food. Besides eating, I love to talk sports. My dream job is something combined with sports and food in the shape of talk show format. That wouldn't even be a job, just a fun hobby that pays! Follow my food account @smalland_hungry.
