These chewy gluten-free chocolate chip cookies use oat flour for a soft, nutty flavor and classic chocolate chip magic. Perfect for those avoiding gluten but craving a comforting, chewy cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (280 g) certified gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened (substitute coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Slowly add the dry oat flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and improve chewiness. Avoid overmixing once flour is added to keep cookies tender. Measure oat flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense cookies. Watch oven closely starting at 10 minutes to prevent overbaking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine. Adding nuts or dried fruit can add texture and flavor variations.
