Guilt-Free Cookies

I remember the good old days when I could eat as many cookies as I wanted. Admit it, you do too! But this recipe allows you to chow-down on cookie after cookie without the guilty feeling. These cookies have a lot of the same ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies but instead of using white flour, try whole-wheat flour and adding rolled oats:) These cookies will taste great and give you the excuse to eat a few more;) Eat up!
Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies:)

Try dipping them in Almond Milk or Soy Milk for a healthy twist to cookies and milk:)

3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
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
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir 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.

Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 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. Cool the cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely
