Oat Flour Chocolate Chunk Cookies
by: claire cary
These oat flour cookies are soft, chewy and so easy to make. They're naturally gluten free, filled with chocolate chunks and can be made refined sugar free.

Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup softened butter dairy free or regular
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry
- 2 ¼ cups oat flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Add the softened butter to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer with both sugars.
- Beat together until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Beat in the dry ingredients aside from the chocolate. Be sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop from the bag.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Add the dough to the fridge for 1 hour.
- During the final few minutes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a large cookie scoop (about 2 1/2-3 tablespoons) and scoop the dough into balls.
- Press on a few extra chocolate chunks on top. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until just golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Sprinkle with salt flakes and enjoy!
Notes
I like to chop up a chocolate bar and use 1 cup of that instead of buying chocolate chunks. This way, you get some of different sizes.
I have not tested these oat flour cookies without egg, but since there is only one in the recipe, I imagine a flax egg or even apple sauce would be fine. If using apple sauce, use 3 tablespoons or make 1 flax egg with 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water.
