Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

 
This is my go to recipe whenever I need to make a dessert or batch of cookies for something.  These cookies are so good!  They are my very favorite and everyone always loves them so I thought I would share the recipe.  They are really similar to Great Harvest's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.  They are a little crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle, just like a chocolate chip cookie should be.  They are made with whole wheat flour, so that takes away a little of the guilt :).  You could probably do a few other substitutions for the butter and sugar and make them even healthier but I haven't ever experimented with that on this recipe.

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups brown sugar, packed

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups rolled oats

2 eggs

2 tablespoons molasses

1 tablespoon milk

1 (12 ounce) pkg semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Beat together brown sugar and butter until well combined. Add oats, eggs, molasses, and milk; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture; beat until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop dough and drop about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 13 minutes, until just starting to brown around the outside. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets. Remove and cool on racks.

Makes 24 giant cookies

Now hurry and go make a batch of cookies.  You can thank me later.
