Kodiak Cakes Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to prepare with one of our favorite flapjack & waffle mix: Kodiak Cakes. All you need is butter, brown sugar, 1 egg, vanilla, oatmeal, and chocolate chips in addition to the Kodiak Cakes mix.
Hi Everyone, it's nice to have a dessert recipe that can be made easy enough around dinner time that doesn't require a huge volume of ingredients.
This is a cookie recipe that I can make if I have a little extra time while my 3 kids are occupied. They make awesome snacks (Kodiak Cakes is a protein-packed mix).
By the way, this is not sponsored at all, I just love their product and tried their cookie recipe on the back of the box and have been making this cookie recipe in many variations on repeat a lot lately.
My husband, kids, and myself LOVE these cookies. I have also made them with raisins. In these photos, I made them with mint chocolate chunks which were great.
I used a small cookie scoop which makes a cookie that is a nice size for kids and snacks.
I love that this cookie recipe has oatmeal in it. I feel like it's more nutritious that way. I'll even enjoy them with my morning coffee.
Hey, there is pancake mix in there after all! That counts as breakfast, right?
I am all for easier-to-make recipes!
I made a few adjustments to the ingredients and added some more detail in my own written directions on the recipe card.
I can fit the cookie dough balls onto 3 standard rimmed half sheets. I bake them one at a time, on the center rack, to ensure an even result.
Here are some recipe process photos to help walk you through making these cookies:
You can use a stand mixer but we mix this by hand. I'll even have my 6 and 2 ½-year-old help me mix - I would call this recipe, "family-friendly."

Would this work with light brown sugar?
Sara Maniez says
Yes, just use the same amount!
Steph says
Would this work with coconut sugar in place of brown sugar? Thanks 🙂
Sara Maniez says
Great question! Thank you for asking; I have not tried that substitution but it should - I have used coconut sugar in baking and I would expect it to work (but I can't guarantee because I have not tried it in this particular recipe). I would just keep the same amount. Let us know how it works out if you try it!
Steph says
Hi Sara,
Thanks for the prompt reply! I tried these with coconut sugar and they came out amazing! My fear was the cookie being too dense but they worked well. Also try dipping them in a milk or milk substitute when eating, they absorb the liquid right up and are arguably more tasty 🙂 Cheers!
Sara Maniez says
Thanks for the update, good to know, I love coconut sugar! It's so versatile.
Loren says
Finally a tasty, healthy-ish cookie! I made these the other night and it satisfied all my sweet tooth, cookie cravings. Best Kodiak Cake recipe I’ve tried yet.
Sara Maniez says
Hi Loren, thank you for coming back to share your experience, I am so glad that you like it! Have a wonderful day!
L. Black says
Would this work with monkfruit sweetner instead of brown sugar?
Sara Maniez says
Hello, Thank you for your question! At this point, I have not yet worked with monkfruit sweetener. If you try it, let us know how it works out. Have a great day!
Jane says
Can you make these with Quick minute oats. If not what would happen if you did? Thank so much for the ricipe!
Sara Maniez says
Yes, you can! I have made them with both. I find that the quick oat do absorb the moisture more and can be slightly more crumbly in texture but they still come out. Thank you for your question and have a great day!
Chealsey says
How do you figure these have 8 grams of protein in one cookie? I plugged the recipe into myfitnesspal they only have 1.1 gram of protein per cookie.
Sara Maniez says
Hello Chealsey, Thanks for sharing what myfitnesspal has, that is helpful. The recipe card (the one on this blog is Create by Mediavine) is what calculates the nutrition based on the ingredients listed. The recipe uses a pancake mix which might complicate things as opposed to a single ingredient. As it says in the recipe card, "Please note that the Calculated Nutrition is an estimate at best." I think to get very accurate nutritional data, I would have to use a lab. Thank you!
Allan Chen says
It is 1.1 gram per cookie, there is 8g of sugar per cookie.
Sarah Yee says
These are so yummy! Can't wait to share them with my family. I have MS and have been baking without butter for 4 years now. I substituted apple sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil and they still turned out amazing. Kodiak makes the best product and I love that you found a cookie recipe with it.
Sara Maniez says
I am so glad you like them! Thank you for coming back and commenting on the post and sharing what you did, it's so kind of you!
Robin says
These sound awesome. One question for you. Can you substitute light brown sugar for the dark brown sugar? I don’t have dark on hand. Thanks!
Sara Maniez says
Yes, that should work. The baking time might be slightly less because there's less moisture (the molasses) in the light brown sugar. Thank you for your question.
Robin says
Thank you for your prompt response 🌻
Sara Maniez says
My pleasure! Have a great weekend!
Jessica says
This recipe is exactly the same as the one on the Kodiak Cakes website and on their box. I didn’t notice any of your modifications. But I do agree that it is a great recipe.
Sara Maniez says
Hi Jessica, Yes, our family loves this recipe which is why I wanted to include it on the blog. I wrote the recipe in my own words, made the recipe several times and have my own original photography. I have also worked with Kodiak Cakes in the past and they have sent me their products. Thanks for your observation. Best wishes!
