¼cup(50g) granulated white sugar
1large eggroom temperature
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
2cups(240g) oat flour
½teaspoonbaking soda

¾cupsemi-sweet chocolate chipsoptional
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
Stir in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours (preferably 2).
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop the dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.Press on a few extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don't skip the chill time: Giving the dough time to chill and hydrate ensures your cookies won't spread into a thin puddle on the tray.
Measuring by Weight: Oat flour is very light and airy. If you don't have a kitchen scale, make sure to "fluff" your flour with a fork before spooning it into your measuring cup.
Yield Note: This recipe makes approximately 15 standard-sized cookies. If you prefer a larger, bakery-style cookie, use a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons). This will yield around 12 larger cookies; just be sure to add an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time!
