Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and aid even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the coconut flour, old fashioned oats, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed, then set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer. Beat for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Egg: Add the large egg into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until a cookie dough forms, being careful not to overmix to maintain the dough’s softness.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a small cookie scoop, drop dough mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.
Notes
- For best results, use old fashioned oats rather than quick oats for better texture.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter cookie, you can increase the sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to achieve a fluffy creamed mixture.
- Spacing cookies well on the pan prevents them from sticking together during baking.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
