Yum! These were fabulous! I could not believe how delicious these were and they were made with whole wheat pastry flour, oatmeal, and dark chocolate chips. In addition to those ingredients, these cookies call for half the butter than most cookie recipes and not as much sugar either. My kids loved these and couldn’t even tell the difference from the usual chocolate chip cookies.
Serve these with a tall glass of milk and enjoy a better for you cookie!

3/4 cup rolled oats (do not use quick oats!)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse oats in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and combine with flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another medium bowl,combine butter and canola oil. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Blend in sugars, egg and vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet and remove with a spatula to a baking rack. Cool completely.
