These soft and chewy oat flour chocolate chip cookies offer a perfect tender crumb with melty chocolate pockets and a subtle nutty flavor, ideal for a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (190 g) oat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the oat flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts if using.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra soft cookies, underbake by 1-2 minutes and let residual heat finish baking. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky or if you want thicker cookies. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to prevent tough cookies. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
