Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

With mini chocolate chips, a little goes a long way to delivering big chocolate taste that kids and teens love. A bit crispy, a bit chewy, these cookies got “two thumbs up” from all of our testers!


½ cup soft, non-hydrogenated margarine 125 mL

¾ cup packed brown sugar 175 mL

1 large egg, beaten 1

1 tbsp canola oil 15 mL

2 tsp vanilla 10 mL

1½ cups whole wheat flour 375 mL

1½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats 375 mL

1 cup bran cereal (not flakes) 250 mL

1 tsp baking soda 5 mL

½ cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips 125 mL


1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until creamy. Stir in oil and vanilla.

3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, bran cereal and baking soda. Using a wooden spoon, mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir in mini chocolate chips.

4. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (15 mL) of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for about 9-10 minutes, or until cookies just start to turn golden. Let cool on baking sheets on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.
