Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Super chewy oat flavored & gluten-free chocolate chunk cookies.
Servings 16
Ingredients
- 113g or ½ cup butter cold is fine
- 200g or 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 250 g oat flour about two packed cups
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 150 g dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl melt the butter fully. Add the sugar, baking soda, salt and vanilla and whisk really well – at least 2 full minutes.
- Add the egg and whisk for another 2 minutes. You’ll see the mixture turn shiny and smooth.
- Add the flour (measuring it with a scale is preferred) and whisk to combine. Fold in the chunks of chocolate.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 2 hours, at room temperature. Alternatively chill the dough for at least an hour. This is to allow the oat flour to hydrate and the mixture to bind. If you bake it too early the cookies will spread too much.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1.5 tablespoons. Roll the dough balls between your palms to smooth them over. If you like you can stick some extra chunks of chocolate on top (press them in a little) so they are prominent when they come out of the oven.
- Bake the cookies until golden on the edges, about 10 minutes.
