Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups oat flour (homemade or store-bought) spooned & leveled
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 8 tablespoon butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips OR chunks I like to buy a Ghirardelli bar or 2 and chop them up

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, brown your butter. Add butter to a large saucepan and heat to medium. As the butter melts, it will crackly and foam (that is normal!). Whisk constantly, and after 1 - 3 minutes, the butter will begin to brown and turn golden. Immediately remove from heat and transfer the browned butter to a medium bowl to avoid burning. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk the oat flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl and set to the side. Make sure there are no clumps.
  3. Once the browned butter is cooled, whisk the melted butter with the coconut sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl with the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. It will be soft! We will chill the cookie dough.
  5. Chill for 30 - 45 minutes in the fridge so that the cookie dough solidifies and is scoopable. You must chill, so the oat flour soaks up any extra liquid.
  6. While the cookie dough chills, preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 rimmed baking trays with parchment paper.
  7. Using a cooking scooper, portion out about 2 Tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Use your hands to roll them into balls and evenly space them out on your lined cookie sheets, and press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball. Do not flatten the cookie dough balls! This recipe makes around 26 cookies.
  8. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until the edges are golden. They will look slightly underdone (don’t worry, that is normal)! Let them cool on the baking tray for 5 - 10 minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Oat Flour: Store-bought oat flour is denser and more processed. I love using homemade oat flour and recommend you use it as well.
  • Homemade Oat Flour: Add around 3 cups of old fashion rolled oats or quick oats to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 30 – 90 seconds until it resembles a flour-like consistency. There shouldn’t be any oat grains left; make sure to blend it completely so it’s soft and smooth.
  • Coconut Sugar: You can use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar.
  • Gluten-Free: Make sure you use gluten-free certified oats when making homemade out flour.
  • Dairy-Free: You can use dairy-free vegan butter sticks. Earth Balance Sticks are best for baking.
  • Storing: For best results, store them in either a sealed, airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Add your cooled oat flour chocolate chip cookies to a freezer-safe plastic bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Freezing Cookie Dough: Portion out the dough, roll them into balls, space them out in a single layer in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. You can bake them straight out of the freezer, but the bake time will likely increase by 1 or 2 minutes.
