And you can prepare in the comfort of your home using ingredients of your choice and in a much cheaper way. Spectacularly delicious cookies for the kids to enjoy, something homemade and whole wheat, without additives or preservatives.

Let’s talk about the recipe:

Preparing these whole wheat cookies is simple. Because it is a recipe that does not have major complications in terms of its preparation and has more than one advantage. On the one hand, there is its simplicity, because it is a dough that is not kneaded. And, on the other hand, it is because of the ingredients to be used, they are few, frequently used and easy to find.

About the ingredients:

At Integralisimo, the whole wheat flour used is 100% whole grain, organic fine grind (I don’t use mixes unless I mention it). In general, depending on the brand, it can absorb more or less liquid. For this reason I recommend incorporating the liquids gradually. As a result, keep in mind that the smaller the volume, the smaller the final product.

The fat used in this opportunity is sunflower oil. But it can be replaced with margarine, butter, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Even so, depending on what fat is used, it can change its texture and final flavor. Therefore, always keep in mind the type and class of ingredients when preparing a specific recipe.

Similarly, another option is regarding the type of oats. Although I used pre-cooked thick rolled oats, you can use instant oats too. Although, consequently, you may or may not need a certain amount of extra fluid. When a recipe calls for rolled oats, it may be advisable to soak them before using (see notes).

Optionally, in addition to chocolate chips, you could make them with raisins or use both as well. However, the use of dehydrated ingredients will absorb moisture from the preparation. So it is convenient to hydrate them for a while before using them using some liquor, cognac or simply water, for example.

About the dough:

It is a dough that does not need elasticity, therefore, it is not kneaded. In this way, the gluten does not develop, and a chewy dough is not obtained. It is enough just to combine the ingredients, without the need to be completely homogeneous. When using butter or margarine, it is integrated cold and in small pieces, forming a grit with the hands or food processor.

The result of this dough, in terms of consistency, has to be a little sticky. Certainly, it is already known that whole wheat flour absorbs liquids late and if the dough is dry, dry cookies will be obtained. And even more so when extra ingredients such as oats and raisins are added, which will also absorb moisture from the dough.

To get a shape and look similar to store-bought cookies, use a flower-shaped cookie cutter. However, it is optional, since it will not differ in terms of flavor or texture, even if its appearance is different. Therefore, in order not to complicate yourself, you can give the form that is practical and easy to do.

About Cooking:

It is advisable that this oatmeal chocolate chips cookies with whole wheat flour are cooked at a suitable temperature so that they do not burn, acquiring a bitter taste as a consequence. Generally, a medium low temperature is used, around 160-180 degrees / 320-356 Fahrenheit for about 8-10 minutes.
