Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
- Stand mixer (or hand mixer)
- Spatula
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegan butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups blended gluten-free oat flour finely ground into flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze!
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter and brown sugar together on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk, continuing to mix until all the wet ingredients are beautifully combined.
- Gradually add the blended oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture while blending on low-medium speed. Don't forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well-incorporated.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips by hand using a spatula. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout your cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to give them room to spread. This recipe typically yields about 9 delightful cookies.
- Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a lovely golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overbaking!
- Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. This essential step allows them to firm up perfectly. Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy your healthy, homemade treats!
