Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

I like this recipe because it is not too sweet. I try to cut down some sugar in our diet. At first I am afraid that it will not be sweet enough but I think it turned out great! My husband loves it.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup oats

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter large rimmed baking sheet.

Sift first 4 ingredients into medium bowl.

Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until blended.

Add flour mixture and beat until moist clumps form.

Mix in oats with spatula until evenly distributed.

Add chocolate chips and knead gently to blend.

Shape dough into a ball. Place on prepared sheet; then flatten.

Repeat with remaining dough, spacing rounds about 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies until center is slightly firm and top is cracked, about 14 minutes.

Cool on sheet. Yum!
