Healthy chewy oatmeal choc-o-chips cookies!

So last weekend, while sitting around with not much to do I had an itch to nibble on something chocolatey, yet I hated the thought of the butter and eggs that go into cookies. I felt a little experimental, so I decided to make my own concoction of healthy for you oatmeal choco-o-chips cookies. As I mentioned in the previous post, I was skeptical that it would in the slightest bit turn out edible.

Thankfully though, by pure luck, it turned out pretty tasty. I'm more of a chewy cookie person when it comes to anything with chocolate chips (otherwise I like my cookies hard). The amazing thing was that it was still soft and chewy 4 days later! It was much to my surprise and Brandon and I pretty much gobbled them up. If you feel up to some guiltless snacking, these are perfect!
