Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's your new cookie jar staple. This recipe for classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookies gets a healthy boost with whole-wheat flour and uses less sugar and butter than traditional recipes. Don't hesitate to make a double batch--they're so satisfying they'll be gone fast.

Ingredients

1 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk brown sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture, oats and chocolate chips; stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Drop level tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making 12 cookies per batch.
Bake until golden brown on the bottom, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
