Proteins are the building blocks of life so being able to include protein in your dessert is a double win. Satisfy your sweet tooth and by adding more protein to your diet you will boost your metabolism which aids in weight loss.

Do homemade oatmeal cookies have to be refrigerated?

No, homemade cookies do not need to be refrigerated. Place the cookies in an air tight container for up to 5 days at room temperature. Your raw cookie dough can be refrigerated for several days before baking.

Can I freeze leftover homemade oatmeal cookies?

If you have baked a large batch of oatmeal cookies and cannot eat them all, it is great to freeze them for another day. After baking, let your cookies cool completely. Then place them in a freezer-safe zip-top storage bag labeled with the name and date.

How long can homemade cookies be stored in the freezer?

Usually frozen cookies will stay good for about 6 months in the freezer.

How do you defrost frozen homemade oatmeal cookies?

When thawing frozen baked cookies, take them out of the containers and let sit out at room temperature so that condensation doesn't form and make them soggy. You can reheat frozen or thawed cookies for that fresh-baked taste and texture: place them in a 275°F oven and bake - check on them after 10 to 15 minutes.

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you are using aluminum foil give the foil a spritz of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Mix: Add Butter and Brown Sugar to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to mix the butter and brown sugar together until smooth. If you don't have an electric mixer or just don't feel like breaking out appliances and having more things to clean you can easily blend together using a fork and spatula.
Mix: Once you have mixed your butter and brown sugar well add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix all together.
Mix: Now add in the Kodiak Cakes Whole Wheat, Oat, & Honey Flapjack & Waffle Mix and the rolled oats. Mix all together until it turns into a nice doughy batter.
Toppings: Add in your chocolate chips or change it up and try some raisins in the mix or walnuts. Kids love M&M's so you could try that. Don't be afraid to be creative and try different things...it's fun!
Assemble: Now that your cookie batter is prepared to your liking scoop 2-3 tablespoon-sized dollops onto your prepared baking sheets.
Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes in the oven until golden around the edges. You can also make these in the air fryer in small batches. Just cut a small square of parchment paper and place 2-3 dollops on the paper in the air fryer and air fry for about 3 minutes at 350 degrees. You may have to adjust the time and temp for your air fryer as some air fryers cook hotter than others. I find the Ninja Foodie cooks very hot and fast so those cookies will cook quick but the air fryer is perfect if you just want to make 2-3 fresh cookies for the day as snacks in the morning.

Notes

These cookies are only 5 Smart Points per cookie on the Weight Watchers plan.

To make it easier to to keep your cookies all the same size you can use an ice cream scoop to measure each dollop you place on the baking sheet.

If you like your cookies thin and crispy just flatten each dollop a little before baking.

If 15 cookies is too many for you to finish in a couple of days it is ok to freeze some and save them for another day. Just place the leftovers in an air-tight container then place in the freezer. When you are ready for more just remove from the freezer and let them sit out at room temperature.

You can re heat in the oven or air fryer for that fresh baked taste. If you need to watch your sugar intake you can swap the chocolate chips for Choc Zero sugar free chocolate chips same great taste and no sugar.
