Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (sweetened)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter (vegan or regular)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup oat flour (or regular flour)
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined. Next, incorporate the egg, continuing to whisk until the mixture is homogenous.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold these ingredients in until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture. Finally, fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a small cookie scooper or spoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Place each dough ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 to 3 inches apart. Lightly press each ball with the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly, which helps the cookies spread and bake evenly.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes. This cooling period lets the cookies set with a chewy brownie-like texture before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter and an egg substitute such as flax egg or applesauce.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies freeze well; freeze in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
- Substitute oat flour with regular all-purpose flour if preferred for a different texture.
- Pressing down the cookie dough balls before baking helps achieve a fudgier, denser cookie reminiscent of brownies.
