Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients (24-28 cookies):

2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (230 g)
2 cups all-purpose flour (210 g)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (70 g)
1 cup brown sugar (140 g)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil or melted coconut oil (use a little more if dough seems is too dry)
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks + more if desired


Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer add the oatmeal, flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, canola oil, eggs and vanilla, beat until the dough is moist and all the ingredients are combined. The dough will be crumbly. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Using your hands clump together a tablespoon of dough. Use you hands to really squeeze the dough into a ball. If the mixture is not holding add 1 tablespoon more of oil. Place on prepared baking sheet. If your balls are a little crumbly do not worry, they will come together while baking. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake for 10 -12 minutes or until set and golden. These are best right out of the oven, so eat up!
