I am definitely doing a lot of baking these days with so much more free time on my hands… and also, feel like I am just craving sweets a little more than usual! Here is my recipe for a classic chocolate chip cookie. I personally like my cookies a little oaty and rustic, and that’s exactly how these ones are. Hope you enjoy these delicious sweet treats as much as I do!

Ingredients:

(makes 12-15 cookies)

  • 1 cup rolled oats 

  • 1 cup and 2 tbsp oat flour (I make my own by blending oats)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled

  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar (maple syrup will also work)

  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla

  • 1 egg

  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips


Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

  • In a smaller mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg.  

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate chunks.  Refrigerate for about 5-10 minutes, which will make the dough easier to form into cookies.

  • Take dough out of the refrigerator, and make 12-15 cookies and place on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Flatten with the back of your hand.

  • Bake cookies for 10-12 min
