  • Total Time: 20 minutes plus chilling time (3-4 hours or overnight)
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Fats and Sugars

  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Place coconut oil and softened butter in a large mixing bowl and beat them together until fully combined. Add both the granulated and light brown sugars and mix thoroughly. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in almond flour, oat flour, white whole wheat flour, kosher salt, and baking soda. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a tender cookie.
  3. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dough overnight or for at least 3 to 4 hours. Chilling helps to develop flavor and improves the texture of the cookies.
  4. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  5. Scoop Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are baked through and lightly golden on the edges.
  7. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes to set properly. Then transfer them to a wire rack if desired to cool completely. Enjoy the cookies at room temperature.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for best texture and flavor development.
  • To make these cookies vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use vegan butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Using parchment paper or silicone liners prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
