Chewy Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter such as Earth Balance
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 ea large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup oat flour see recipe note below*
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp white whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (approx. 3-5 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Add the oat flour, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, cinnamon, and old-fashioned oats to bowl and beat to combine. Add the flour and blend until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. The cookies will spread if not refrigerated.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Scoop out approximately 2 oz of dough and place no more than 9 on a sheet pan at a time (this recipe will make approximately 14 cookies). Refrigerate the cookies again for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. You want the cookies to be slightly under baked so they remain soft, chewy, and tender. Allow to cool and enjoy!
Notes
*To make your own oat flour, blend up oats in a food processor until it begins to resemble flour.
