Chocolate Chip Cookies

Servings: about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Prep: 10 mins
Total: 35 mins
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup  rolled oats
1 cup  whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon  baking soda
1/2 teaspoon  salt
1/4 cup  butter, softened
1/4 cup  canola oil
1/3 cup  granulated sugar
1/3 cup  brown sugar
1   large egg
1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
1 cup  chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
