I have made several batches of these in order to get them just right, and let me tell you, even the failures were consumed down to the crumbs 😅. We fine-tuned them for the perfect combination of pillowy in the middle, crispy on the edges, and a doughy bite that keeps you coming back for another. They are sweet + salty, and made with only 7 ingredients that you control the quality of so you make sure you’re nourishing your body in the best possible way…even with a cookie. Let’s whip some up together:

Ingredients

• 2 cups of GF flour – We made our own oat flour (so simple!!) by blending 2 cups of sprouted, organic, gluten-free oats. Get it to a very fine flour consistency (you don’t want to see the oats or it will impact the way the cookie comes together in the oven).
• 1 cup brown coconut sugar
• 1 t. baking soda
• 3/4 t. salt (plus a little more if you like to taste the salty factor. I do!)
• 1 t. Mexican vanilla
• 1/2 t. Vietnamese cinnamon
• just shy of 4 T. organic olive oil (we love the Thrive brand)
• 4 T. oat milk (or vegan milk of choice)
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Steps

1. In your mixing bowl – start with the dry ingredients. Once you’ve added your flour, salt, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon – whisk to incorporate all.
2. Next, start pouring in your wet ingredients over the dry, careful not to add any more liquid than necessary.
3. Use your spatula to combine wet + dry, and about halfway through, add your chocolate chips and keep mixing until well-blended.
4. Pop the bowl in the freezer for 15-30 minutes and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
5. While your mix is chilling, get out your baking sheet and parchment paper. You want to have everything ready so that as soon as you remove the dough from the freezer, you will be able to pop them right in the oven.
6. Remove the dough and immediately form into teaspoon sized balls.
7. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. They will look a wee bit brown around the edges (just barely!), and the inside will still look super soft, almost undercooked. That means they are perfect!
8. When you take them out, leave them for 10 minutes before touching. Resist the urge to put them back in, or burn yourself with a bite 😅.

Thank you for baking with us. If you give them a try, we’d love to hear how they tasted in the comments below. Be well and joyful today!
