Organic Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Recipe by @andriaorganichomecooking)

I’m always on the search for the perfect cookie recipe.  I received this recipe from a family friend over 10 years ago and I modified it slightly over the years to the recipe it is today.  I have tried so many variations of oatmeal cookie recipes but I always come back to this one. It really is the perfect oatmeal cookie!  I hope you like the recipe, it’s been a family favourite for so many years!  If you make it, let m know how it turns out!  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS (I use organic ingredients): 1 cup of butter

1 cup of organic unrefined brown sugar

½ cup of organic raw unrefined sugar (fine)

1 egg

1 tsp madagascar vanilla extract

1 ½ cups oatmeal 

1 ½ cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a stand mixer, add butter (ensure it’s at room temperature) and sugar and mix until smooth.  Add the egg and mix on medium-low speed until mixed thoroughly.  

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda together and to the wet ingredients, add the oats and then mix until on low speed until completely mixed together. (The dough will get thick).  Remove from the mixer, and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula/wooden spoon.   Wrapt the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 mins before baking (TIP: refrigerating cookie dough before baking will stop it from spreading too much and going flat)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  After 30 mins remove the cookie dough from the fridge and using a small ice cream scooper, (TIP: Using an ice-cream scooper makes the cookies come out perfectly round and the exact same size) - scoop out the cookie dough and place 2 inch apart on the tray and back in the oven for 10-12 mins or until light golden brown.  10 mins the cookies are more chewy, 12 mins the cookies are more crunchy.

Choc-Oat-Chip The rich tastes of chocolate and oats come together in Whoopie Pies, a delicious treat that is shaped like a sandwich cookie. For chocolate lovers, these chewy, sweet pies are the ideal dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup cocoa powder. 1/2 cup rolled oats. 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk.

Instructions: Turn the oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix the flour, baking soda, oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat the sugar and softened butter together in a separate bowl until they become light and fluffy. Blend the egg and vanilla essence until thoroughly blended. Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients gradually, beginning and ending with the dry mixture and alternating with buttermilk. Blend until barely combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir. Leave space between each spoonful of batter so that it can spread out when you drop it onto the baking sheets that have been prepared. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and just firm to the touch, in a preheated oven. Take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. After the cookies cool completely, sandwich two cookies together by spreading your preferred fillinglike cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganacheon the flat side of one of the cookies. To make whoopie pies, repeat this process with the remaining cookies. Put your Choc-Oat-Chip Whoopie Pies in the oven and enjoy!

In waffle form, you can enjoy the perfect mix of chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal. There are chocolate chips all over these waffles, which make them a delicious breakfast treat. The outside is crispy, and the inside is soft.

Ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 2 eggs. 1 1/2 cups buttermilk. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Instructions: Follow the directions that came with your waffle iron to get it hot. Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they look like rough flour. Mix the brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oat flour, and all-purpose flour together in a large bowl. Bring the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a different bowl and mix them with a whisk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. Don't mix it too much; a few lumps are fine. To make the waffle batter, slowly fold in the chocolate chips. Brush cooking spray or a little melted butter on the waffle iron to make it smooth. Depending on the size of your waffle iron, pour the right amount of batter onto it. Then, follow the manufacturer's instructions and cook the waffles for about three to five minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Take the waffles out of the iron carefully and keep them warm while you cook the rest of the batter. You can top the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Waffles with anything you like, like maple syrup, whipped cream, or more chocolate chips. Enjoy your tasty waffles that you made yourself!
