🛒 Ingredients (Makes 10 Large Cookies)

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option)
  • 1½ teaspoons maple syrup (for a hint of caramel warmth)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup oat flour (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • ¼ cup almond flour (adds moisture and nuttiness)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour (for chewiness and structure)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended)
  • 1½ cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (75g) raisins or chocolate chips (optional, but delicious)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven & Baking Sheet

  • 🔥 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • 📜 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

Step 4: Stir in the Oats & Add-Ins

  • Fold in the rolled oats.
  • Stir in raisins, chocolate chips, or your favorite mix-ins.

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

  • 🍪 Scoop ¼-cup sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • 📏 Space them about 2 inches apart, giving them room to spread slightly.

Step 6: Bake & Cool

  • ⏳ Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look just slightly underbaked.
  • ❄ Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

💡 Pro Tips for the Chewiest Cookies

✔️ Extra Chewiness: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
✔️ Crispier Edges: Lightly flatten the dough before baking.
✔️ Dairy-Free Swap: Use coconut oil or vegan butter.
✔️ Flavor Boost: Stir in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dash of nutmeg for extra depth.
