There’s also the flour used in this recipe. Instead of using all-purpose flour there’s a combination of whole wheat and oat flour in the cookie dough. Both wheat flour and oats have more fiber and nutrients than white flour. You can make your own oat flour by putting oatmeal in a food processor.
Oat flour also give the cookies a chewy and cakey texture. Cookies usually get this from butter, but because of the oatmeal you don’t need as much butter to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies.
