Instructions
- In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar for 3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy. You can also make these cookies in a large mixing bowl with a whisk, and beat for 5 minutes instead.
- Add the eggs one at a time, and beat in between each addition just until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the oat flour, baking soda and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and beat on medium-low speed until it begins to incorporate, then increase to medium speed and mix just until a dough forms. If using a regular bowl, switch to a rubber spatula once the cookie dough starts to get thick.
- Mix in the chocolate chips on medium speed for 10 seconds or fold together with a rubber spatula. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill cookie dough bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes if time allows.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough and place onto the baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look puffy right after baking and deflate causing beautiful cracks once set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Test Kitchen Notes
- Swap the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips or even white chocolate chips if you prefer. You can also do a combo of two types!
- Prep the cookie dough in advance and leave it in the fridge overnight. If the cookie dough is too firm to scoop, let it sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes just so it softened a tad to become scoopable. Since the cookie dough is extra cold, it will take an extra 2-3 minutes to cook in the oven
- Store cookies in a container or ziplock on the counter or in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can also freeze these cookies in a freezer-safe ziplock!
