Kid Approved Healthyish Oatmeal Cookie
Servings: 28 cookies
Ingredients
- 1½ cups quick cooking oats
- ¾ cup flour OR white whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- a nice pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup oil OR coconut oil, melted
- 6 tbsp milk (any type/ soy milk fine)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a bowl, combine oats, flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in vanilla, oil, and milk until you’re comfortable with how the cookie dough is binding. Mix in coconut.
- Using a cookie scoop (I used a 1 tbsp scoop), scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet. Press down slightly with your palm. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown at the edges and lightly golden on top. The cookies will be very soft when they first come out of the oven. If you like them crispier, you can bake for a total of 10-12 minutes. Let cool for a couple minutes, then you’ll be able to pick up and enjoy!
