"Healthier" Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies



With some inspiration from Chocolate Covered Katie and the fact that I stumbled across coconut sugar at the grocery store today, I decided to try out these cookies. At first I wasn't sure they were blog worthy, but with lots of taste testers approving and asking for the recipe I decided to share. 

Ingredients

§  2/3 cup whole wheat flour
§  1/2 cup oats
§  1/4 tsp salt
§  1/2 tsp baking soda
§  4 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
§  4 tbsp white sugar
§  1/2 cup chocolate chips (use mini if you can find them)
§  1 tsp pure vanilla extract
§  2 tbsp melted coconut oil (Or vegetable oil)
§  2 tsp flax seed, mixed with 2 tbsp water
§  3 tbsp milk of choice, I used 2% milk

Directions


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients and mix very well. Add wet ingredients, and form into a big ball, use your hands to form.  Now make cookies into tablespoon size balls. Place on silt pad or parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet. Remove and cool on cooling rack.
