Choco Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I am not a fan of oatmeal per se, but when they are turned to cookies, I LOVE!

Why haven’t I thought of making this recipe earlier when, every time I open the kitchen cupboard, I would see that big bag of quick cook oats! Thanks to Erwan Heusaff’s website for featuring this perfect oatmeal cookie recipe. I didn’t do his flavored version, but I did add some semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Be warned: Erwan is sooo hot that you would want to play his videos over and over and over again!!! I did, haha!

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Adapted from The Fat Kid Inside

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 tbsp low fat milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup instant or quick cook oatmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Procedure:

• Pre-heat oven at 180 deg C.
• Mix all ingredients except oatmeal, flour and chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl
• For crisp cookies, do not put in milk. For chewy cookies, add 1 tbsp milk. (I opted for the crisp cookies)
• Gradually add in the oatmeal and flour. Once well-combined, add in the chocolate chips and mix until distributed evenly.
• Drop about tablespoonfuls of dough onto a greased baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake until light brown for about 10-15 minutes.
• Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

I love the crispness of the cookie, with just a hint of sweetness to it. I also made a version of it without the chocolate chips, so we have some snack variation.

Do try this recipe out! Other easy dessert recipes that I recommend for you to try are my brownies and chocolate crinkles. They are my go-to recipes whenever I am in need of a fast sweet fix.

Enjoy!
