Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have been making these for many years but have changed the recipe over the years. I have tried the recipe a few different ways to make them plant based but this time they turned out perfect. They are a family favorite.

Mix the wet ingredients together in the mixer:

2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 Tablespoon plant milk or water

Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl:

2 Cups flour

1 1/2 cups sugar ( I used organic sugar = less processed) or use coconut sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Add the dry to the wet ingredients. 

Mix again then add:

1 tsp pure vanilla

2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (dairy free)

2 cups of oats

1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)

Mix well.

Use a cookie scoop and place on cookie sheet.   Bake at 375 deg. For 8-10 minutes until just light brown on top.  Do not over bake.  They are best when taken out when they are still a little gooey.  They will firm up when they cool but they will still be chewy.
