When I say healthy, I mean healthy in terms of cookies. Because really, what’s a cookie without a little sugah and buttah? Can you even call it a cookie without the two?
So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to take just a leeeettle sugar and buttah, throw in whole wheat flour and heart-healthy oats, and top everything with dark chocolate and walnuts. The result? The BEST “healthy” cookie ever. Seriously.
I had my “assistant” helping with my cookie baking today. And by helping I mean eating.
Kyle was just filled to the brim with compliments for these cookies and I don’t know if it was the sugar or what, but he was especially expressive with his feelings for my baking today. Imagine me sitting at our kitchen table, trying to get some work done, with Kyle next to me, glass of milk and cookie in hand.
- “I really really really really like these.” (Yup, 4 whole “reallys”.)
- “I’m on a cookie high!”
- “LOOK HOW GOOD THIS BITE LOOKS”
- “Cookie eyepatch. I’m crazy!!”
The boy has good reason to love them so much, though! These cookies are ridiculously good and you can’t taste the reduced sugar or whole wheat flour in the least! They have the most wonderful hearty and fluffy texture and are bursting with walnuts and fat chunks of dark chocolate chunks. Honestly, they don’t taste healthified in the slightest and they may just be my new favorite cookie. And for only 100 calories each? That means you can stuff 5 in your mouth!! Uhhhm. YES PLEASE.
Make these. I promise you’ll love them :).
Today I’m linking up with WIAW to share these tasty cookies! Head on over for more great eats!
I’ve got a thing for cookies at the moment, love the sound of these!
These look delicious, Christine- FedEx a box today, and I’ll FedEx you some waffles.
Deal. ALSO. Someone owes me a post with my dark chocolate avocado truffles AHEMMMM 😉
I’m with ya girl – when you take out the butta and sugar, a cookie just isn’t a cookie
Kyle’s praise + your beautiful pictures are enough to make me just have to bake these puppies!
Thanks, Jamie! And YUP. Can’t forget a few of the great things in life or else it’s not actually a cookie haha.
It was sad days when I was healthifying all my cookies and leaving out the butter and sugar… I’d end up eating like 8 ‘cookies’ and STILL not being satisfied. These look delicious, girl! Chocolate chip oatmeal has always been my favourite.
You’re inspiring me to bake cookies this weekend! Healthy or not, you still have to have some butter in there!
Can’t wait to see what type of cookies you come up with! And YES! I totally agree with ya on that
I think I just found the dessert I’m going to bring to Easter lunch. Thank youuuu
.
Can’t wait to see how they turn out for you! 😀
Omggggggggggg yum!!

you guys are toooo cute!!
these look and sound delish <3
I have a major sweet tooth and those cookies look absolutely delicious!
These look delicious! I love any cookie with nuts.
Oooh, these sound so delish! Love the terms “sugah and buttah” hahaha I was totally giggling to myself. You’re the cutest. And ummm, 100 calories each, I would for sure be stuffing my face. Maybe it’s the juice cleanse talking… but these look SO YUMMMY right now. I will totes take Kyle’s word for it 😉
D’awww shucks :D. You’re making me blush haha! AND YES. EAT ALL THE COOKIES. Maybe you can throw a cookie into a blender and make it into a juice. That counts, right?! Shhh.. I won’t tell anyone if you don’t ;). <3
Oh man!! These look amazingly delicious!! YUM! Love that they are healthy and sweet! Seems like you found a great balance!!
Thanks, Cailee! They were delicious!
It’s a sin for a cookie not to have butter and sugar. If it doesn’t have them, is it even a cookie?! These look so yummy, Christine!!
Yup, yup, yup! Totally agree with ya haha. It needs to have some of the good stuff in it to be considered a treat!
These look heavenly omg….
Ahh these cookies look amazing!! I love healthy versions of cookies that look like they’ll still taste like normal cookies. I can’t wait until I have a little more time to try out your recipes!
I agree! It’s the best when you can healthify a recipe and still have it taste just as delicious :).
Ahh these look incredible!!
These cookies look deeeeeelicious! Pinned.
Haha, my husband “helps” me all the time. 😉 I just started following you on twitter so I can’t wait to see what you’re up to next . 
Glad we both have such “helpful” men in our lives hahah ;). Will follow you back right now! SO excited to connect with you and become bloggy-friends! 😀
I love Kyle’s enthusiasm! They do look pretty delicious. I’m gonna have to put them on my baking to do list!
Kyle is one happy guy whenever I bake hahah! Let me know if you ever try them out
Yum! And it would be so easy to make them gluten free
First your skillet lasagna and now these cookies?!?! My mouth is watering just looking at the recipe, but alas, I will have to wait until I get to the store to buy the ingredients! YUMMO!
Hahah this comment totally made me smile :)! Let me know how they turn out for you if you end up making them!
Just made these, they are amazing!!
I only had 1 cup of oats left so i added a medium banana, and OMG the smell and the taste and the looks, everything is just perfect!
Yay! So happy to hear that
