Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened and at room temperature, use dairy free if needed
  • ¼ cup brown sugar substitute with coconut sugar if desired
  • cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cup oat flour I used Bob’s Red Mill
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup pecans chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup chocolate chips use dairy free if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl add the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Mix well with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the sugar is well blended into the butter.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well to incorporate.
  • Add the oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt to the bowl and gently mix into the dough. You can use a mixer on low speed for this or a rubber spatula. Be sure not to overmix this step and only mix until no flour clumps remain.
  • Add the pecans and chocolate chips to the bowl and fold into the dough to mix.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough into cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches between each cookie so they have room to spread in the oven. Bake for 11 - 13 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers of the cookies are slightly set.
  • While the cookies are still warm, use a fork to gently press the edges of the cookie towards the center. This is optional but helps to create a perfectly circular shape. Add a few more chocolate chips on top of each cookie, optional, and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Once cool, enjoy or store in an airtight container or cookie jar. They will keep for up to a week out on the counter.

Notes

Dairy free : Use vegan butter and dairy free chocolate chips to make this recipe dairy free.
Storing : Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container out on the counter for up to a week.
