Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- Add egg whites, corn syrup, and vanilla; stir until dry ingredients are moistened, forming a very thick dough.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until set.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.
- Remove and cool on a wire rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes before baking. You can substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition or use a sugar substitute to reduce calories. If you want a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of brewed coffee to the wet ingredients, which pairs beautifully with Lisa'S Favorite Peanut Butter And Chocolate Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These brownie oat cookies are delicious on their own but can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They also pair well with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. Consider serving them as a sweet treat during a cozy gathering or as a snack with Lynn'S Fall Muffins.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rolled oats instead of quick oats?
Yes, you can use rolled oats, but the texture may be slightly chewier. If using rolled oats, consider processing them in a blender for a few seconds to mimic the texture of quick oats, ensuring they blend well with the other ingredients.
What can I substitute for corn syrup?
You can replace corn syrup with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor. However, keep in mind that this may slightly alter the sweetness and texture of the cookies. Adjust the sugar accordingly if you prefer a less sweet cookie.
How do I make these cookies vegan?
To make these cookies vegan, substitute the egg whites with a flax egg. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients without using eggs.
