I am definitely doing a lot of baking these days with so much more free time on my hands… and also, feel like I am just craving sweets a little more than usual! Here is my recipe for a classic chocolate chip cookie. I personally like my cookies a little oaty and rustic, and that’s exactly how these ones are. Hope you enjoy these delicious sweet treats as much as I do!

Ingredients:

(makes 12-15 cookies)

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup and 2 tbsp oat flour (I make my own by blending oats)
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
⅓ cup coconut sugar (maple syrup will also work)
1 ½ tsp vanilla
1 egg
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In a smaller mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate chunks. Refrigerate for about 5-10 minutes, which will make the dough easier to form into cookies.
Take dough out of the refrigerator, and make 12-15 cookies and place on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Flatten with the back of your hand.
Bake cookies for 10-12 min
