Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Cookies

A perfect oatmeal cookie made a little more macro-friendly!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature (56 g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (~60 g)
  • 1/2 T molasses
  • 1 egg (or 1 tsp oil + 2 T water + 1 tsp baking powder for egg free)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ~3/4 cups Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Pancake Mix (95 g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 and 1/2 cups oats (120 g)
  • 5 T cinnamon chips (75 g)

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter on medium speed until completely smooth. Add in brown and white sugars to the butter and cream on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until combined. You may need to scrape down the sides to help your mixer!
  • Next add in the molasses, apple sauce, egg (or egg replacement), and vanilla to the mixer. Beat on medium heat until fully combined.
  • Then, add in the Kodiak Cake mix and cinnamon. Mix until just combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  • Finally, stir in the oats and the cinnamon chips until evenly distributed.
  • Take the bowl from the stand mixer, remove the paddle, cover it with foil, and refrigerate the dough for an hour.
  • Once the cookies have had some time in the fridge, turn on the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. Scoop out cookie dough in about a tablespoon size. Give them a quick roll between your hands to form a ball, and then place on a cookie sheet. Repeat until 12 cookie dough balls are on the sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to brown. Once baked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Scoop out the remaining dough and repeat the baking process. Enjoy!
