Servings: 5 Dozen
Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown sugar or 1 cup
- ¾ cup granulated sugar or 1 cup
- 1 cup extra-virgin coconut oil softened slightly but not melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2½ cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour (11.5 ounces)
- 1¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (I'll use either dairy free and regular depending on who is eating them)
Optional Ingredients
- white Chocolate Chips
- craisins (great dairy free option)
- chopped Walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, tin foil or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and coconut oil until light in color, 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until combined. Scoop about a heaping tablespoon of dough. (you can roll it or just plop is on). Place them 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and set but the middles are still soft. Remove from oven and let the cookies sit for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheets. Then use a spatula to move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
*If you don’t need the cookies to be dairy-free, you can use whatever type of chocolate chips you desire.
