Ingredients
- Wet ingredients:
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (or sub coconut sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons almond milk (or dairy free milk of choice)
- ⅓ cup melted and cooled coconut oil
- Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup packed fine blanched almond flour
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour**
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vanilla, flaxseed meal and almond milk until well combined and wet. Next, whisk in the melted and cooled coconut oil until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl: almond flour, oat flour, baking soda and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Use a medium cookie dough scoop to grab cookie dough, or use your hands to grab about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place cookie dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to prevent cookies from baking into each other. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to sit on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. You should get approximately 15 cookies.

If you prefer thicker cookies, I suggest refrigerating the dough for 10 minutes before baking. Otherwise, feel free to bake as is.
Freeze the dough: simply roll the dough it into individual balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once the cookie dough balls firm up, transfer them to a reusable freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, simply thaw out the dough and bake the cookies as directed. You’ll likely just need to add a few extra minutes of baking time!
Freeze the baked cookies: wait for them to cool completely, then transfer them to a reusable freezer-safe bag or container lined with wax or parchment paper. I like to place them in a single layer to avoid any cookies breaking. Cookies will keep well for up to 2 months. Once ready to eat, simply thaw out at room temperature and enjoy.
