Making (and eating) baked goods every week.
If it’s a week I have it together enough to meal and snack plan, I love planning a baked good to make for snack times. Baking something each week sets me up to have a satisfying snack on hand, which I’m all for!
This week I was going to make some energy balls, but decided I was craving oatmeal cookies more than I was craving a no-bake something. So here we are with this tasty recipe.
I made these cookies a bit on the smaller side. Usually I like palm-sized cookies, but I made these energy ball sized and left them on the undercooked side (as all cookies should be left!).
What have you baked recently? At a dinner party I recently tried a lavender loaf cake. I usually think lavender infused food/drinks taste like soap, but my tastebuds found it surprisingly good!
ONE BOWL Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Yield: makes 12 cookies (that are on the smaller side)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, melt butter. Add all other ingredients, adding chocolate chunks last so you don't put the chocolate straight into the hot butter and melt it. Mix until a dough forms. Make balls of cookie dough and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, leaving slightly under baked.
You posted this at the perfect time because I didn’t know what I wanted to bake next, but these sound delicious!
woohoo!
I was just planning to make your coconut flour chocolate chip cookies this evening! Cookies are hands down my favorite. Rich, satisfying, customizable, freezer friendly, soft/gooey, sweet… yum!
Yep! All the good adjectives!
Yum! These look like perfection. Thank you for sharing.
In recovery, I have discovered I am still unveiling fear foods. I think having something like a cookie/cookies as a snack or with a snack is a great way to neutralize the food while optimizing satisfaction! Win!
yep yep yep
Yum these look delicious and easy! I usually have a cookie of some sort with my morning coffee and these would be perfect :) Also, I seem to remember one of your quotes that was along the lines of “you’re not worth more if you weigh less”, but I can’t find it anymore. Can you remember what it was? Thanks!!! Ps. love the new look & logo! <3 !!
It’s something I heard Isabel Foxen Duke say…”you are not more valuable if you take up less space.”
That’s the one! Thank you! :)
I love this concept and these cookies look amazing! I made a batch of muffins a couple weeks ago and threw them in the freezer so I was super happy to have them available to defrost and eat this week! I love the Kodiak cakes muffin mix. Super easy and fool proof which I need most of the time.
ooo I’ve never tried their muffin mix! Sounds tasty.
These look DIVINE! Can’t wait to try!
Hope you enjoy!
This new blog design is so nice and peaceful! <3
Love hearing that! Peaceful is what I wanted:)
The cookies look great, definitely going to make those sometime soon. And I have to say, I love the new layout! It looks so soothing (if that makes sense lol). Anyway, great choice!
Yay! Soothing was what I was going for!
I love lavender stuff lately! And just had some homemade strawberry shortcake that was amaaazing
After liking the loaf cake I’m more open to ordering lavender stuff now..except I’m still not big on lavender lattes. Too floral!
I love quick cookie recipes that yield a smaller amount! I loveeee your pb cookie for 2 recipe.
Ohh yes! That’s a good one! Here’s the recipe for anyone else who wants to try: http://immaeatthat.com/2018/02/13/two-thick-soft-peanut-butter-cookies/
These cookies look awesome. I never seem to snack much but what I love is cookies crumbled in a bowl with some almond milk and a banana, which makes for an awesome breakfast. Kind of like cookie crisp cereal but homemade. Weird, I know (and probably not the most nutritious breakfast), but oddly, doing this has helped with my eating disorder recovery. I haven’t figured out what it is (or even why I started doing this) but I don’t feel the guilt about eating sweet stuff.
I think that breakfast sounds super satisfying! Yum!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my favorite!! Can’t wait to make these this weekend :)
I love the new design as well! Sleek and professional and very organized!
Thanks, Brittany!
Ooh oatmeal cookies are one of my current favourites! Excited to give these a shot! Also, love the new blog look. So pretty!
Thanks, Jen!
Hi Kylie, thank you for sharing one of the easiest cookie recipes in the world to make and memorize! I halved the sugar content and it was still really sweet for me so will reduce it even further next time. I also added a bit of shredded coconut for flavor and texture. Love how customizable this receipe is.
They’ve been in the oven for 12 minutes & they’re not flattening out….. just staying in balls!! Please advise! thanks!
