- Make them extra chocolatey: Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking.
- Add warm spice: A little cinnamon can be added to the dough for a cozier flavor.
How to Make Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut palm sugar until smooth.
- Step 2: Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Step 3: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Step 4: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Recipe Notes & Tips:
- Use softened butter: Softened butter mixes more easily with the coconut palm sugar and helps create a smoother cookie dough.
- Measure the oat flour carefully: Too much oat flour can make the cookies dry, so spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off.
- Do not overbake: Pull the cookies when the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet: Oat flour cookies are soft when they first come out of the oven, so let them sit for a few minutes before moving them.
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour if needed: Oats can be cross-contaminated with wheat, so certified gluten-free oat flour is best for a fully gluten-free cookie.

Room Temperature: Store Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
