It started with these:
Whatever could I possibly do with these giant chocolate chips I keep in my fridge? I munch on a few here and there and decided they needed to be taken away from me put to better use. As you may recall, I’ve had some healthy baking snafus lately. Luckily, Katie at Chocolate Covered Katie is the master of sinful deserts that are deceptively healthy.You can find Katie’s recipe here, but my variation produced a softer, more oaty cookie that I promise is still super yummy. (I ate three out of the oven!)
Ingredients
Dry:
- 1/3 + 1/4 oat flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbs turbinado sugar (or use regular brown)
- 1 tbs white sugar
Wet:
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3.5 tbs skim milk (I’m trying to use up a quart of milk I bought for Sunday night corn bread.)
- 1.5 tbs melted earth balance
- Chocolate chips
- Mini peanut butter chips
- Whatever your heart desires/whatever is laying around your kitchen
Directions
I didn’t have oat flour and spelt flour (a Katie recommended substitute) seemed dangerous given my baking past. Then I remembered: (1) I recently purchased whole wheat pastry flour and (2) I could MAKE oat flour with my amazing food processor!
Add wet ingredients. There didn’t appear to be sufficient dough so I added the pastry flour, some more milk, a little extra baking soda and vanilla. (The ingredient list above includes all adjustments I made at this stage.)
Back to those little chippers. I was so eager to get my mitts on them I didn’t bother to change out of my lawyer lady work clothes
Truth: pb chips make the world a better place. And cookies yummier.
I the recipe yielded just enough cookie dough for me, Ted and a few special people to get some chocolate chippers. This is perfect because I cannot be trusted around cookies in the morning or when I come home from work. Basically, whenever they are in my house and so am I.
Hello, gorgeous.
About 12 minutes later, it was meet the chocolate chippers time!
These cookies made the perfect home for my giant chocolate chips.
Happy almost Friday friends!
