  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 18 cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/4 cup oat flour (lightly packed and levelled, certified GF if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large cookie sheets with silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, mixing well to combine. Then, add the baking soda, espresso powder, and fine sea salt and stir until incorporated. Gradually mix in the cocoa powder, followed by the oat flour, until the dough is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Form the Cookies: Using a tablespoon measure (about 1.5 tablespoons), scoop portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 1.5 to 2 inches apart. Gently press down each dough ball with the back of a spoon to flatten to approximately 1/2 inch thickness to ensure even baking.
  4. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly firm while the centers remain soft, indicating a chewy texture.
  5. Cool: Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up slightly but stay tender inside.

Notes

  • Using certified gluten-free oat flour ensures the cookies are safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • The espresso powder is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor depth without making the cookies taste like coffee.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for best freshness.
  • Pressing the dough balls before baking helps achieve a consistent thickness and baking time.
