Recipe Summary Healthier Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Carrots are not normally found in cookies, but they act as a great natural sweetener while adding moisture. I also replaced half the chocolate chips with dried cranberries. These cookies are tasty and a good source of fiber.

Ingredients | Chewy Step By Step Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

½ cup butter, softened

¼ cup non-fat plain yogurt

1 cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

3 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup chopped walnuts

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

¼ cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Beat butter, yogurt, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour and baking soda until just incorporated. Fold in quick oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, carrots, and cranberries. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
