Organic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Healthy cookies my 5 yr. old will eat. :)



This is the first recipe that I concocted somewhat on my own. I say somewhat because I looked at a lot of different recipes and couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I used bits of different ones and then tweaked it until it resembled the right consistency. The true test was when my daughter tried one of the cookies and actually liked it. 

Ingredients:

2 ½ Cups Organic Rolled Oats
1 ½ Cups Organic Wheat Flour
¼ Tsp. Sea Salt
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tsp. Organic Cinnamon
¾ Cup Organic Sugar
½ Cup Organic Honey
1 Tsp. Organic Vanilla Extract
½ Cup (1 Stick) Hormone Free Butter  
½ Cup Organic Coconut Oil (melted)
2 Organic Cage Free Eggs

Directions:


Preheat oven to 375.

  1. Mix together dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, use a mixer to blend butter, coconut oil, and sugar
  3. Add eggs and vanilla until smooth. 
  4. Blend in the honey.
  5. Stir in dry ingredients. 
  6. Drop a spoonful amount onto cookie sheet 
  7. Bake for 9-12 minutes. 

Makes about 3 Dozen cookies

Some variations ~

You can substitute ½ Cup Organic Brown Sugar for the Honey. You can also use 2 sticks of butter (rather than one) instead of the Coconut Oil. Both of these substitutions will make for a much thicker consistency and you could probably leave out ½ cup of the Wheat Flour. 

I hope you enjoy them!
