There is nothing quite like a warm cookie straight from the oven. These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have become a favorite in my kitchen because they are soft, chewy, and use simple ingredients that satisfy that afternoon sweet tooth without any fuss.

My top tip for this recipe is to make sure your flax egg sits for at least five minutes before you add it to the batter. This helps it get nice and thick, which gives the cookies the best texture possible.

🧺 Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed meal with the water. Let it sit for about five minutes until it thickens into a gel.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Stir the thickened flax mixture into the wet ingredients.
5
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
7
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with your palm since they will not spread much in the oven.
8
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days. You can also freeze them for a quick treat later. Serve them warm with a glass of your favorite plant based milk for the ultimate snack.
