Soft, buttery and chewy whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
I made these whole wheat cookies many times before and I always come back to this recipe. Sometimes when my children don’t want any sandwich for school I make these cookies so they can have something to eat at lunch. They are bored of sandwiches and I need to think of new recipes for them. Sometimes, I make banana bread muffins or soups like these Tomato Soup or Chicken Soup.
However, treats like these whole wheat chocolate chip cookies are considered “ok” for lunch time. Not always but once in awhile. This is my “lunchbox” dilemma:)
How about you? What do you prepare for your children to school?
Instead of using all-purpose flour I decided to use whole wheat flour. I don’t see the difference in taste. I can’t say they are better with all-purpose flour. They are equally delicious. Whole wheat flour adds a little more nutrients than regular flour. That’s why is healthier.
I also use chocolate chips but you can use raisins instead. My younger son loves raisins, but older not so much. That’s why I opted for chocolate chips this time.
I bake often with old fashioned oats

These look fantastic Ilona! I love that you managed to reduce the sugar to only 1/2 cup and use oats instead of most of the flour – fabulous! Pinned! 🙂
Thank you Ceara! I usually use less sugar in my recipes.
Anytime I can have cookies and feel a bit healthier about it, it’s a win in my book! Yum!

Hi
What should be substituted for butter? I like this recipe and want to try to make it but I like to avoid using butter.
Thanks I advance for your help.
Hello Nila, You can substitute for margarine or coconut oil. Both should work well. I substituted butter with coconut oil in different recipes and they were ok.
