Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until fully combined. Then add 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the cookie dough, folding them in with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Before baking, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball. This will enhance the flavor of the cookies and add a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but slightly soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This will help them firm up a bit before transferring them to a wire rack.
- After cooling on the baking sheet, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious One Bowl Salted Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make your cookies tough and dense.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure out dough.
- The flaky sea salt is crucial - it elevates the chocolate's richness and creates a gourmet flavor profile.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies for a softer, gooier center.
