How To Make C،colate Chip Oatmeal Cookie
- Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, with a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the ،er and the sugars on medium s،d.
- Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
- Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the c،colate chips.
- Drop heaping tables،fuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations
- Swap the c،colate chips for c،colate c،ks, raisins or walnuts.
- Try them with craisins and white c،colate chips.
- To reduce the sugar you can use monk fruit sweetener or your favorite sugar replacement.
Storage
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 2 weeks. You can also keep them in the freezer.
Helpful Tips
- Because these use less ،er, it’s crucial not to over-bake them if you want them chewy. The applesauce makes them moist, but if overcooked they will become dry so if you’re not sure if your oven runs ،t it’s probably best to take them out a minute or two earlier.
- Once they come out of the oven, transfer them to a wire rack so they cool completely before storing.
