Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's a recipe to keep for a gloomy day. Or a sunny day, because they'll still taste just as good :)
I got the original recipe from fellow Utah blogger Two Peas & Their Pod and just made a few modifications. Hope you like them!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/4 c wheat flour
1 c oats
1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c honey 
1/2 c coconut oil (butter substitute is okay)
1 egg
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 T. milk
1 c. chocolate chips

In one bowl mix together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl beat the coconut oil, brown sugar and honey together. Then add the egg, vanilla and milk to the egg mix. Finally combine the liquid and dry ingredients, and then mix in the chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes. Let cool and eat up!
