I'm on a mission to help kids find the best snacks! Cookies don't make the list of the best snacks, but what if there was a cookie that was better than the chocolate chip bag recipe? Let's work together and create the best cookie recipe! Today, I made cookies and reduced the sugar, added fiber (oats), and protein (nuts)... but there is so much more we can do! What items from my list can you add and what ingredients can you subtract? Tell me in the comments below how you would improve this recipe!   2 cups flour 1 cup rolled oats 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 brown sugar 2 eggs (hardboiled eggs are on the list!) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup crushed dark chocolate bar 1 cup chopped walnuts (or nut of choice) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. DIRECTIONS In a small bowl, mix flour, oats, baking soda, salt. Set aside. (Get kids to help stir!) In a large bowl, soften butter. After butter has been softened, add sugar. Mix well. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients to mix in large bowl until completely mixed. Add ingredients as desired (we added a dash of cinnamon and some more oats). Add chocolate and walnuts. Mix and drop rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on edges. Let cool on cooling rack and enjoy a couple! Store in an airtight container for another day or store in the freezer. I can't wait to hear how you would improve this recipe! Look for a better recipe coming soon based on your suggestions! -Snackster Sam Searching for the best snacks? Get the list!Comments are closed.
