Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Drop the dough by heaping teaspoons, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until firm around the edges and golden on top (about 15 minutes).
Makes approximately 2 dozen.
p.s. Use the good (more expensive) chocolate chips! I bought the cheap kind and noticed as I was opening the package it said "Made with real chocolate". What's that about! I guess it was my assumption that chocolate chips were made with chocolate? My bad.

I am so trying these. It must run in the family because cookies, especially homemade chocolate chip cookies, are definately my weakness as well. I try to justify with wheat flour too, but they are still cookies. I admit they sometimes don't even make it to the oven either, as the dough is probably my favorite part. Can't wait to try these out...FHE treat perhaps?
I was going to make these this afternoon, then realized I have no clue which box my food processor is in so we will have to hold off till I have my kitchen back to rights, but I will let you know. I'll never forget when you guys made cookies when I would come stay it was an all afternoon thing because I think you guys make like 6-8 dozen. Oh good memories. My little guys are always game for a warm cookie before bed. I love trying new recipes we should make a weekly recipe swap on our blogs?
I LOVE this recipe, as you well know since we've had many converstaions about it, and I will leave my testimony to their goodness...There aren't many things that excite me more than thinking I can sit down to a movie with a plate of fresh, warm wheat cookies. They are so so good and I don't miss the white flour one bit. I make these often but for me they all have to go in the oven. I'm not a big cookie dough lover and I have a hard time not getting mad at Ryan for taking fingerfulls of the dough as I'm trying to bake them.
I just think that there is something wrong with putting the word "wheat" in front of cookies. If you are going to eat cookies they mine as well be the real thing, and dont let that wonderful cookie picture fool you. That is not at all what they look like. They look like a wheat cookie. OK OK so they are not bad at all for being wheat. Tiff made them one time when she came to visit and I thought wheat cookies??? Yikees, but they actually werent bad at all. But as you know I will stick with my white flour cookies. Thanks though Tiff. Love ya!!!
