  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour or all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving space for the cookies to spread.
  2. Sprinkle each mound lightly with flaky sea salt.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

If you don’t have oat flour, pulse rolled oats in a blender until fine for a quick substitute. For a slightly lighter bite, use all-purpose flour. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep them soft, add a slice of bread to the container.
