Homemade cookies are the ultimate way to uplift your home and family on a dreary winter day. Here in Oregon we have a lot of days like that. This was one of the first recipes Shalane requested for our second book: a healthier chocolate chip cookie that didn't require an electric mixer. Baking with whole-grain flour can be tricky. The secret is to not skimp on the butter (Remember, butter is good for you!). These cookies are best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven. Since this recipe makes a lot, you can freeze half the dough for fresh baked cookies in a pinch.

2 sticksunsalted butter

2eggs

2 teaspoonsvanilla

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, chocolate chips, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well blended.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined (use your muscles as the dough will be thick).

Step 5

Roll dough into golf ball-sizes, space 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet, and flatten slightly.

Step 6

Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a baking rack to cool.

Step 7

Time-Saver tip: Form leftover dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap the log in parchment paper, seal in a gallon-size zipper bag, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer 1 hour prior to baking and use a sharp knife to slice into cookies.
