Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats old-fashioned or quick oats
  • 1 cup almond flour or finely ground almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (or jaggery powder)
  • 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt fine salt or sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips approx. 60-70% cocoa, or chopped dark chocolate

Equipment

  • Baking tray with parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and both sugars until light and smooth.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract (if using).
  4. In another bowl, whisk together rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda and salt.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using your hands or a spoon, shape small portions (about 1.5 tbsp each) into cookie rounds and place on the tray, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until edges turn light golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute brown sugar with jaggery powder for a more Indian touch. For a softer cookie, bake only till edges brown slightly and centre looks set. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
