But coconut sugar is better because it’s less sweet and it gives the cookies a chewy, soft texture. Then add your vanilla extract and some eggs. This creates a wet mixture that would hold the cookies together
Step Three
In another bowl, mix your oat flour and baking soda and some pinches of salt, also a little white sugar if needed.
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl and ensure it is mixed properly and it is evenly distributed accordingly.
Step Four
Add your wet and dry ingredients together in one bowl and mix accordingly until you get a thick, sticky dough.
Normally when using all-purpose flour you would be careful not to overmix the cookie dough as it can result to a tough cookie and we don’t want that but we are using oat flour for this delicious recipe so you don’t have to worry about over mixing the dough.
You can also consider adding a little of coconut oil because the coconut oil leaves a soft hint of flavor and helps firm up the batter making it sweet and savory.
Step Five
Add in your chocolate chips and stir together with the dough to make sure they’re evenly distributed so that one side would not be left with chocolate chips.
You can add mote chocolate chips or less depending on your preference to achieve a chocolaty deliciousness. You can also substitute chocolate chips with some dried fruits or nuts hinging on your preference
Step Six
Use a scooper or a tablespoon to scoop the dough and drop on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them two inches apart to give them space to spread out while baking.
Step Seven
After placing the dough on the baking sheet, put it in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-12mins or until the edges are golden brown.

After baking the cookies bring them out of the even and leave them on the baking sheet to cool off for a while.

Allow it to cool on the baking sheet for some time then transfer it to a wire rack to cool off completely as this is very essential to achieve the ideal texture. Letting it cool off would make it crispier.

Note:
There are different ways you can prepare this recipe, you can either choose to mix all the ingredients in one bowl rather than separating the dry ingredients from the wet ingredients before adding them together.
You can either mix them all together like these; In a large bowl add some butter (unsalted or vegan butter) then add some sugar (brown, white or coconut sugar), then add some eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Then add half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda, add your oat flour and mix properly together until you have gotten a thick and sticky dough.
Then bake to your desired texture and set out to cool off as cooling off is very essential to achieve that crispy texture. Serve and enjoy your homemade yummy oat chocolate chip cookies.
Also Note:
When substituting oat flour for an all-purpose flour. It’s important that you substitute by its weight rather than by its volume.
Any way you can get the measurement right by multiplying the number of cups of all-purpose flour that you would normally use by 1.4 to get the number of cups of oat flour you would use.
Conclusion
It is also very important to know that if you’re using melted butter to mix your dough…you would store it in the fridge for about half an hour for the dough to firm up.
