HEALTHIER OATMEAL COOKIES

Healthier Oatmeal Cookies image

I have been searching for a healthier cookie treat for my girls. I experimented with other recipes and used whole wheat flour and coconut oil in place of white flour and butter or vegetable oils. The result is a yummy, chewy treat for your family!

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch sea salt
1 cup coconut oil, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Sift whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine coconut oil, sugars, and molasses in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in the sifted flour mixture until well blended. Mix in oats, chocolate chips, and cranberries.
