Let’s start with a visual treat! Feast your eyes on the beauty of these cookies before we actually get to the part where we bake them:
Ingredients Galore
Before you put on your chef hat, let’s check out what we need to make these scrumptious cookies. Make sure you have the following essentials on hand:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (because no cookie is complete without chocolate!)
Time to Bake!
Okay, your apron is on, and your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C). Let’s get to the fun part—baking!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy—this is the moment your kitchen starts to feel like a bakery.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix it up until everything is combined. No egg left behind!
- In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. It’s okay to get a little messy.
- Finally, fold in those luscious chocolate chips. Because really, who doesn’t love a surprise chocolate explosion in their cookie?
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them space; they’ll spread out like a cozy sleeping bag!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will smell so good, your neighbors will probably be knocking on your door!
- Let them cool on a wire rack (if you can resist the temptation long enough), and voila! You now have the Best Ever Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies to impress family, friends, or that adorable guy/gal next door!
Enjoy your cookies guilt-free, because whole wheat is healthy, right? Happy baking!
