These are my favorite cookies! This is slightly adapted from a recipe from Ward Street Bistro. I keep meaning to play around with the fat and try oil/applesauce in place of some of the butter, but these cookies are just so good as is. Instead of using the wheat germ, you could use 1/4 cup flour. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned) |
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour |
4 tablespoons toasted wheat germ |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened) |
1 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed) |
3 ounces dark chocolate (melted and cooled) |
1/2 cup walnuts (toasted and coarsely chopped) |
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chop one cup of the oats in a blender/food processor.
3. Melt 3 ounces of chocolate and allow to cool.
4. Add ground oats to flour and add the other dry ingredients.
5. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar.
6. Add egg, vanilla, and melted chocolate to butter and sugar blend.
7. Add flour mixture, 1/3 at a time, until just blended.
8. Add remaining 3/4 cup of oats, chocolate chips and walnuts.
9. Roll two-tablespoon sized balls onto parchment lined baking sheet/jelly roll pan.
10. Bake for about 10-15 minutes.
