The Best Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Food

TODD'S FAMOUS WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until pale in color and fluffy in texture. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Add the oats and use a wooden spoon to stir until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.
• Drop the cookie batter onto a cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop or spoon, in about 1-inch rounds. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

WHOLE WHEAT, HONEY SWEETENED OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream the butter and honey together in the bowl of a stand mixer (it can also be done with a hand mixer or a wooden spoon if you're feeling ambitious and particularly strong).
• Add the egg (if you're doing this with a wooden spoon, it's best to beatthe egg prior to adding), vanilla and milk and stir until it's all combined and creamy.
• In a small bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together and then add them to the wet batter. Stir to incorporate.
• Add oats, orange zest and chocolate chips. Mix.
• On a Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet (seriously, invest in one of these options) spoon out the cookie batter. I use about a tablespoon per cookie.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are nicely browned.

BEST WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and baking soda until well blended, then mix in the ground pecans and flour. Stir in the chocolate chips last. Try not to over mix once you add the flour.
• Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets so they are about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cookies are just starting to brown at the edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Use a mixer to beat butter/shortening in a large mixing bowl; add sugars, baking powder and baking soda, and blend well.
• Add eggs (or egg replacer) and vanilla, mixing until combined.
• Finally, mix in the flour, and gradually add the oatmeal and lastly the chocolate chips.
• If the mixture forms individual dry clumps, try adding a little water (I had that problem when I used egg replacer).
• Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, and place about 2-inches apart on a cookie sheet (I highly recommend the insulated sheets, or use two sheets layered on top of each other with the cookies on the top sheet).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are brown.
• Let sit for several minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
