“Empty?! You took all the cookies!” “They were crying to get out of the jar. Cookies get claustrophobia too, you know!”
Charles M. Schulz
Wholegrain Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are cookies that spell “P U R E C O M F O R T”. Cookies are often the best bites to happiness, the shortest route to instant gratification. Even better if you bake them at home. These were just that and more. Some afternoons, I want need to just steal into the kitchen and bake myself into oblivion. There are a few hits and misses on days like these.Did I tell you that summer is practically here? Yes we’re on the border where spring meets summer. That means a few days of precious mulberries, curry tree blossoms, lime tree blossoms, kumquats too. Tomatoes that will hopefully ripen to a sun kissed red, then we look at notoriously high temperatures of 45C and above.
With the summer heat increasing, and the mercury literally rising by a degree everyday, summer baking needs to be minimal, quick and very fuss free. These cookies were surprisingly all this and more. They turned out darned delicious too. Inspired and adapted from a popular cookie by Deb @ Smitten Kitchen, I made mine wholegrain.
My obsession with the #makehalfyourgrainswhole often works well. With cookies, it’s a near 100% pass rate. I’ve really never understood why brownies or cookies should use refined flour since they taste really great with wholegrain. I recently made wholewheat shortbread too, a recipe I still have to share. That was another winner.These are as simple as can be. Stir a dry mix, whip the wet mix, stir gently to mix the two and you’ve got great tasting cookie dough. If the eggs are pasteurised, you could eat the dough by itself!! It tastes that good! I know because I had a little helper who was stealing away bits of dough!
So here we go. Get the stand mixer going, and in 2 minutes you have cookie dough. I love the big handy bowl of the KitchenAid. Best design ever. If cookies are comfort food, the KitchenAid is equally comforting, magical too!
Wholegrain Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wholegrain Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies that come together in a matter of minutes, fuss free and absolutely delicious. That they are 100% wholegrain makes them a winner. Swap the chocolate chips for raisins, maybe add some walnuts, or make them coffee chocolate chip cookies. Either way, these will disappear before you know it! This is pure comfort food.
Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to mix.
Place all the wet mix ingredients in bowl of KitchenAid Stand Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, and process for 2 minutes on speed 3.
Add the dry mix and stir with paddle attachment on slowest speed for 30 seconds.
Let the mixture stand/rest while you preheat the oven to 180C {15-20 minutes}
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
Place scoops of cookie dough on the parchment, 2 inches apart,12 on each sheet. Flatten gently with the tines of a fork. {Sprinkle over a few more chocolate chips if you are feeling particularly indulgent}
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are done, light golden brown, and the centre is still a little soft. {Bake further 5 minutes if you like crisp cookies}.
Remove tray from oven, allow to stand for 5 minutes, then cool the cookies completely on the rack.

Will surely bake these..Just a question. Do you source your unsalted butter from the market or do you churn it at home?
I churn my own butter(white makkhan) but whenever I have tried to use it for baking , have found that it has a lot of water content , even after draining the “chhas” thoroughly after the process.
Any tips/thoughts on this?
Hi Manjeet. Yes I make/churn my own butter. Once made I wash it well in chilled water, squeeze it in to a tight ball, making sure it is compact and has no excess water. I freeze it in 100g lots. Hope this helps.
Hi Deeba, as usual these cookies are too good .First batch finished within couple of hours . I am craving for Mulberries.Can you just tell me where in Gurgaon ( Palam Vihar area) can i procure them.
Please, can you put up the recipe of Whole Wheat almond chocolate orange olive oil bundt cake( pic on your Instagram) on PAB.
Hi Abha, Thanks for stopping by. Such a small world. I live in Sec 23, but my mulberries come from Palam Vihar. Sadly the season has passed now. Re the olive oil cake. It’s a recipe developed for a client, so unfortunately cannot share it. 🙁

We are having a panel discussion on “Italy is about 1/4th of Uttar Pradesh in terms of population but Italian food is consumed and demanded all over the world.

The discussion will an online discussion and will take place on the 25th at 8pm. We would love it if you can take out half an hour from your busy schedule.
I baked these cookies and they were absolutely yum and absolutely easy to make. They were pretty big and so the second batch I baked into mini cookies and these are perfect for my family, not too heavy on the stomach and a perfect bite with our coffee. Thank you for this easy recipe
In love with all the props used in the post. I agree, cookies and brownies and a lot of pther baked goods are pretty successful with whole grains and I too sub half the amount of refined flour called with them, sometimes more. The cookies look super yum! Love Deb’s blog!
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Luckily I just bought Oats from the supermarket yesterday, also can I use dark chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips?
I did It! I finally made these cookies today, even though I was a bit apprehensive about using wheat flour I am glad I went ahead with it. Not only did they turn out great it also made my family feel relieved that these cookies were sans maida and made them indulge without feeling guilty.My cookies turned out crispy on the edges and soft and chewy in the middle is that how they are supposed to be? Also they were quite thick and didn’t spread much this could be because of the way I scooped them into the tray but still I am not sure?

Aditi
Is there any substitute for egg?
Deeba @ PAB
Maybe try half recipe with yogurt instead of egg? Or do a flaxseed egg?
Leah
I am definitely going to make these! Is there any chance you could let me know measurements in cups? I’m unsure of how they translate to grams!
Deeba @ PAB
Hey thanks. Maybe Google for the conversion?
