Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies and they taste good!

This amazingly tasty cookie is from my friend, Stephanie. She is a Mary Kay representative if you need anything!

Stephanie made these cookies for Bible study, and everyone loved them!! They are pretty healthy and taste great. Everyone wanted the recipe so I thought I would share them with you! She got it from the Real Age website and modified it a little.

I'd love your healthy recipes! Post a link to your blog in the comments section if you want to share.

Ingredients
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions
-preheat oven to 350. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray (if needed)
-grind oats in blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
-beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla - beat until smooth and creamy.
- slowly add dry ingredients to mixture, beating on low until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- teaspoon dough onto prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart from each other. Bake until firm around edges and golden on top about 15 minutes (my oven cooks them perfectly in 11-12 minutes so this time may vary!) Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
