Guilt Free Cookies

If you want a whole wheat cookie that doesn't taste like it, that's gooey in the middle and crunchy on the outside, this recipe is for you! It is my "healthy" recipe, at least about as healthy as cookies get without sacrificing the desserty goodness of it!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 7-10 minutes
Cool time: 30 minutes to an hour
Makes: about 3 dozen

Cream together:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

Dissolve together:
1 tsp hot water
1 tsp baking soda
Add to creamed mix

Add and mix together:
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Mix in 1 cup chocolate chips (or raisins to be healthier)! If you add raisins, add 1 tsp cinnamon.

Drop by spoonfuls onto the tray and bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes.

Tips: I make half a batch so I don't eat them all in one day- they are our all time favorite!
The consistency is different than chocolate chip cookies, it is wet but solid.
They don't spread much but don't melt down much either so don't make them too tall.
Take them out when the tops look just done, but they are still kind of gooey and smush down a tiny bit when you press the top with your finger. Let cool completely as they will be too soft when warm.
