Fun with whole wheat

These are some fine cookies. No ifs, ands, or buts about the lack of white flour. They're just plain excellent cookies.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 c. rolled oats
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/4 c. canola oil (or vegetable oil)
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 c. chocolate chips (dark chocolate is the best)
A handful of nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a blender or a food processor, grind the oats until they resemble flour. I used quick-cooking oats which are flimsier than traditional oats, so it didn't take but a few seconds. Mix the oat flour with the dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a mixer with that paddle beater, not the whisk one, beat the butter until "fluffy." This "fluffy" state has never been particularly apparent to me, but I just beat until it starts to lighten in color a little bit. Add oil, sugars, egg, and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy.
With the mixer still running, add the dry ingredients and quit mixing when they're incorporated. One of these looks like it would make the job easier, but otherwise, just be vigilant. If you have a KitchenAid (what my sister calls "the concrete mixer"), you've experienced shock and awe at flying ingredients; or at the least, a cloud of flour that blinds and thwarts your baking plans.
Dump in the chocolate chips and/or nuts and mix. The batter is pretty stiff, but you can do it by hand if you're afraid of murdering the chips and nut bits. If you live without air conditioning, keep your chips in the fridge. Otherwise you'll end up with melted chocolate streaks throughout the dough. Not that I'd know anything about this.
Drop little wads of dough a little smaller than a golf ball on a couple baking sheets--it's a crumbly batter, especially if you put nuts in too, so you may need to do some hand-shaping and squeezing to get them to become real cookies. Bake until the cookies are firm around the edges and golden on top, about 15 minutes.

This is NOT a low-calorie food, but you get a bonus of 1g of fiber for each cookie!
