Oatmeal-Flax Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats (or old fashioned oats)
- ¼ cup flax seed (finely ground in a spice grinder, or pre-ground flaxseed)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 12 tablespoons 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, oats, flaxseed, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
