Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon butter softened and at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar substitute with coconut sugar if desired
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup oat flour sub with all purpose or gluten free 1:1
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips use dairy free if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl add the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Cream the butter and sugar together well with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat to incorporate.
  • Add the oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt to the batter and fold into the dough. You can use a mixer on low speed for this or a rubber spatula. Be sure not to overmix and only mix until no flour clumps remain.
  • Add the mini chocolate chips to the bowl and fold into the dough to disburse.
  • Use a small cookie scoop (about 1 Tbsp) for smaller cookies and a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp) for large bakery-style cookies. If making small cookies, bake for 5 - 6 minutes and bake for 7-8 minutes for larger cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers of the cookies are slightly set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet until the bottoms have firmed up and you can pick up the cookie with one hand without it breaking.
  • Once cool, enjoy or store in an airtight container or cookie jar. They will keep for up to 5 days out on the counter or a week in the fridge.

Notes

Gluten free : These cookies are naturally gluten free with oat flour but you can use gluten free 1:1 flour if needed.
Dairy free : To make this recipe dairy free, use a dairy free butter or coconut oil or palm shortening.
