Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last night I was craving something sweet, and I will be honest, I didn't want a healthy alternative.  I wanted something sweet, and yummy....I wanted dessert!  I made these cookies and they were soft, chewy, and AWESOME!  They felt like they should be sinful....but they still followed clean eating rules and were pretty heatlhy for cookies!  However, if you are doing the 21 Day Fix, you would still want to count this as one of your treats :)

Ingredients:
1 large egg
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp.  baking soda
pinch of sea salt (optional)
handful of dark chocolate chips

Directions:
In a large bowl or mixer add egg, coconut oil, applesauce, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon.  Mix well.

Add flour, oats, and baking soda and stir to combine.  Add chocolate chips.  Chill dough for a couple hours in the fridge.

Preheat Oven to 350.  Spray cookie sheet with baking spray.  Roll into balls and cook for 10 minutes. Do not overcook, they will become more firm when they cool down.

Makes 15 cookies.
