Serving 26 cookies

Ingredients
 

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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Once the browned butter is cooled, whisk the melted butter with the coconut sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • While the cookie dough chills, preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 rimmed baking trays with parchment paper.
  • 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.
  • 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.
