Munchkin really wanted to have chocolate chip cookies last night, so I started throwing together some ingredients as I wanted to try something different. I mixed and combined until I arrived with a dough texture that I liked. I decided to go with a larger cookie scoop to make big cookies. The result was oatmeal flavored crispy chocolate chip cookie with a soft inside. They were easy to make and a hit.
Munchkin decided they tasted like a cross between chocolate chip cookies and granola bars. I plan on trying these with dried fruit and nuts. I may even try a version using honey instead of sugar.
To make the oat flour, I just added gluten free oats to my blender and blended until I had a nice flour. You could also do this in a food processor or grain mill. I’m at a higher altitude so your bake time may be a little less. If you make the cookies smaller, you’ll also want to reduce the baking time.

- Stir melted butter into dough mixture.

I love to make new things! These sound yummy. Can I ask why the inclusion of the almond flour? I am just curious. Is there anything that may be subbed for that?
I’m printing them out to put in my gf recipe binder 🙂
(Hopefully I will get back here or to my email to see your reply! If not- have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year.)

I added it for flavor. I honestly don’t know if you need it or not as this is one of those recipes that I literally just started adding things together to come up with a new flavor profile for a chocolate chip cookie. If you don’t mind messing with recipes a bit, I would try it without the almond flour if you don’t want/have it. 🙂
Merry Christmas, Blossom!
