Delicious and filling triple chocolate oat cookies made healthier. The perfect afternoon snack for hungry kids and grown ups too! (sponsored post)
Some days you just need a chunky chocolate cookie to get you through that afternoon slump… agreed?!
Cookies aren’t known for being the most nutritious of snacks so I thought I’d try to make my own healthier version, packed with more filling ingredients and less sugar than the shop bought version.
To make this recipe I used my new Magimix 4200XL Food Processor that was gifted to me.
I have been a fan of Magimix for a few years now. My old Magimix has been one of my most used kitchen gadgets but sadly was on its last legs after constant use for several years!
Magimix kindly gifted me this new machine and also a second one for one of my readers! Head over to this post to enter the competition.
Back to the cookies…. and yes I used the Magimix Food Processor to make them. The machine makes light work of mixing up the dough and is perfect if you want to get the kids involved in helping. I always worry about the kids using hand or stand mixers in case they poke their fingers in! But making cookies in the Magimix is much safer as the machine automatically switches off if the lid is removed.
If you try out this recipe please do let me know what you think. And if you have any photos send them to me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter! I always love to see your creations!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Remove the two small bowls from the food processor, leaving only the large bowl and add the large blade.
- Add in the butter and sugar and blitz until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and blitz again for a few seconds. If necessary use the scraping tool to scrape the mixture down the sides.

The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Disclosure: I was gifted a free Magimix machine in return for this post but as always all thoughts and opinions are honest and are my own.

Do you think these will work to to do a straight sub for gf flour? Thank you 🙂

Hi Katya, yes you can substitute the flour for GF flour. x

Hi could I swap wholemeal flour for almond flour? Thanks 🙂
Bianca Carey Spencer says
Hi Magda, I’ve not tried these using almond flour. Almond flour does tend to be a lot more porous than wholemeal flour so the ratio to other ingredients might need to be different so I’m not sure how well it would work. Do let us know how you get on if you try it though!
