Oats Cocoa Cookies

So you’re staring into your kitchen like it owes you something sweet. The answer? Oats cocoa cookies. They’re chewy, chocolatey, and a little too easy to eat in batches of five. You might tell yourself they’re healthy because they have oats. That’s between you and your conscience.

This recipe keeps things clear and simple. No fluff. No mystery. Just a good cookie that knows what it is.

Why Make These Oats Cocoa Cookies

These cookies take basic ingredients and turn them into bite-sized joy. They mix the goodness of oats with the deep flavor of cocoa. The result is a cookie that tastes like it tried hard, but not too hard.

They are quick to prepare, easy to understand, and friendly on your blood sugar—well, friendlier than most cookies.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

How to make Oats Cocoa Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir until combined.
5. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Leave some space between each cookie. They like elbow room.
7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set. The centers can stay soft.
