Soft & Chewy Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

skinny oatmeal cookies

Soft-baked & chewy healthier oatmeal cookies made from just a few ingredients. Nothing complicated, just pure goodness!

Oomph. Monday, yet again.

I know you feel me. This weekend went by way too fast. I figured I would make today a less painful by sharing some COOKIES.

You are going to love these. And you know what? These cookies are easier than you think:

  1. Make cookie dough.
  2. Chill slightly.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes.

BOOM.

I have been on a mission to create a healthier cookie that doesn’t look that cookie taste or texture. You know what I’m saying? No frills and nothing complicated with this cookie: whole wheat flour, whole grain oats, coconut oil, honey for sweetness and a touch of maple syrup. (No oatmeal chocolate chip cookie should be without maple syrup.)

And yes, these are delish. I made a double batch yesterday to share with friends this week. With no mixer required, the cookie dough comes together in a jiffy!

Get moving into the kitchen.

Your sweet tooth is calling on these cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and cornstarch together. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a wooden spoon or spatula. Once almost combined, add the chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and sticky — that’s OK! Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  3. Roll balls of dough (about 3 Tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes . The centers will look very soft and undone. Remove from the oven and using the back of a spoon, press down slightly on the cookies. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The cookies will finish “setting up” during this time.
  4. Make ahead tip: Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well – up to three months. Bake the frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, no need to thaw.

Notes

  1. You can use quick oats if you do not have old fashioned. Keep in mind, quick oats absorb liquid much faster so there is no need for chilling.
