Description

These High Fiber Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious and healthier twist on a classic treat. Packed with rolled oats, white whole wheat flour, and ground flaxseed, these cookies provide a satisfying boost of dietary fiber without sacrificing flavor. They are soft, slightly golden, and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, making them perfect for a nutritious snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and dark brown sugar using a whisk or electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, white whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt, ensuring an even distribution of all dry components.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the butter and sugar mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the cookie’s tender texture.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure each cookie has a good amount of chocolate.
  6. Shape Cookies: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the sheets, shaping into cookie forms. This recipe makes about 20 cookies, but you can adjust size to your preference.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden brown.
  8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. They will be soft initially but will firm up as they cool.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and soft.
  • If you prefer, adjust the amount of chocolate chips between 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup based on your taste.
  • Cookies don’t spread much, so shaping them before baking is recommended.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based butter and replace the egg with a flax or chia egg.
