Chocolate Chips Oatmeal Cookies

Who doesn't know Chocolate Chip Cookies? The round fat dark brown cookies, with small chips of chocolate spread on top will definitely entice the taste of anyone's sweet tooth. In an attempt to make the snacks, while keeping healthy food in mind, we baked the healthy version of Chocolate Chips Cookies


Start with the flour, we used whole wheat flour richer in fiber. And to even further add the amount of fiber, we mix large amount of rolled oats to complete the "Chocolate Chips Oatmeal Cookies"

We also cut the amount of sugar, as the chocolate chips we use also have some sugar added. Why not replacing it with artificial sweetener you may ask. In our opinion, the artificial sweetener, no matter what they are made from, contains chemical materials which might not be healthy in the long term.

Some thing is still being tested in the ingredients and process. There might be some room to reduce the amount of sugar while maintaining the taste. And using steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats might have different outcomes. But in the mean time, we are happy to enjoy our Chocolate Chips Cookies with our evening coffee
