Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place oats into a food processor and blend for 15-20 seconds to lightly pulverize, shredding them into smaller pieces. If you're using quick cooking oats, omit this step.
• Add oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Using a standing mixer, cream butter and brown sugar together on medium/high speed until light and fluffy.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and then turn the mixer on low speed and slowly add the maple syrup to the butter and sugar. Beat on medium/high until light and fluffy.
• Add egg and continue mixing. Scrape the sides of the bowl, add vanilla, and mix until light and fluffy.
• Slowly add dry ingredients (everything but the chocolate chips) to wet ingredients, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing on low. Last, fold in mini chocolate chips.
• Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden and to allow the flour in the cookie dough to hydrate.*

HEALTHY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, butter, egg, vanilla, and honey. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in the chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Remove the dough from the refrigerator (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes). With a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space around each. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
• Bake until the cookies are golden and firm around the edges and set on top, about 9 to 10 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.

• Drop 12 spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking tray, pressing down a bit to form cookies.
• Bake for 16 minutes until golden brown, do not overcook. If they seem slightly underdone when you take them out, that's about right.
