Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup instant quick oats1
  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats1
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ⅓ cup refined coconut oil, melted2
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the quick oats, oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir together until almost combined, then, fold in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 15 minutes, while the oven preheats.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F while the dough chills. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. Spoon the cookie dough, about 1.5-2 Tablespoons, roll into balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Once chilled, drop the cookie dough - about 1.5 Tablespoons worth onto the baking sheet. Slightly flatten to the shape you want the cookie. Bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Cookies stay fresh at room temperature for 3 days in an airtight container.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: The rolled cookie dough balls and baked cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw baked cookies overnight in the refrigerator. Frozen cookie dough balls can be baked frozen adding 1 additional minute to the baking time.
1. Gluten Free: Use certified gluten free oats, quick oats and 1 to 1 baking flour to make these gluten free.
2. Coconut Oil: I prefer to use refined coconut oil to omit the coconut flavor. Feel free to use unrefined if that's all you have.
