Freeze this cookie dough and have freshly made chocolate chip cookies every day of the week. Make one or ten cookies. This is my favorite way to satisfy my sweet tooth while not overindulging. Learn how to freeze cookie dough here.
Meal Prep Desert
I have the biggest sweet tooth. I’ve tried everything to curve my cravings. I pretended fruit was as satisfying as chocolate, I tried to compromise with “healthy” versions of my favorite treats, and I’ve put my faith in low calorie ice cream. But nothing hits the spot quite like a classic chocolate chip cookie. So I’ve become realistic.
Whenever I crave something sweet, instead of ignoring it, or going out and buying a pint of ice cream, I make one cookie (or two if Adrian wants one). I guess it’s called portion control. I like to call it cookie prep 😁 ( it’s like meal prep.. get it? get it? 😅)
Can we talk about how delicious these cookies are with oat flour? I put as much oat flour as possible into these cookies, because ya girl loves her some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Also if you want to feel better about eating a cookie (but really who would feel bad), oats are technically good for your cholesterol and your heart. Let’s just ignore the sugar and chocolate and pretend this cookie is as healthy as running a mile. Sound good?

Notes
I truly think mini chocolate chip cookies MAKES these cookies amazing. You are guaranteed the perfect ratio of cookie and chocolate in every bite. Get mini chocolate chips if you can. If not, regular sized chips work. (still use ¾ cup)
