Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with half all-purpose flour and half oat flour providing a great texture for your classic cookies. To make your oat flour all you have to do is blend your old fashioned oats or quick oats until they become a flour-like texture. Browned butter makes this chocolate chip cookie have a great depth of flavor.
So as of late, I have been kind of obsessed with chocolate chip cookies. Okay, I lied it's not as of late, it's as of always. But oat flour I have been interested in lately. I made some oat flour banana bread. I just poured some old fashioned oats into a blender and mixed until it was flour type mixture. And the banana bread turned out fantastic so I thought it was only right to begin experimenting in the kitchen with oat flour. And why not experiment with a classic that I love so much? Oat flour chocolate chip cookies?
I did not substitute all of the all-purpose flour for oat flour- I did half and half. I also did not blend the oats as well as I should have. Hey, I was in a hurry and needed a cookie!!
I really did enjoy these cookies. The oat flavor was there but not overpowering. I think I might make some monster cookies with oat flour! I also used new Hershey Baking Melts- huge chocolate discs. They worked great!

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with half all-purpose flour and half oat flour providing a great texture for your classic cookies. To make your oat flour all you have to do is blend your old fashioned oats or quick oats until they become a flour-like texture. Browned butter makes this chocolate chip cookie have a great depth of flavor.
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 2 Dozen Cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 14 tbsp unsalted butter (1 ¾ sticks)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cups dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and if using one line your baking sheet with a Silpat liner.
- Whisk the flour and baking soda together and set aside. To brown, the butter cooks the butter over low to medium heat. Swirl it every so often. The process will take around 5 minutes.
- Continue cooking the butter until you get a nutty aroma. The scent is nutty yet caramel-y.
- Pour the brown butter into the bowl of an electric mixer or a heatproof bowl. Mix in the last 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix until completely dissolved in the brown butter.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. Add in egg and egg yolk until combined about 30 seconds. Let sit for 3 minutes and mix for 30 seconds again. Repeat the process 2 more times.
- Mix in the flour mixture until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Place dough on prepared baking sheet, I clumped my dough into 2 tbsp-ish mounds. I don't roll the cookie dough into a ball, instead, make it taller. This creates a thicker cookie
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown but still look a bit undercooked.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes

Hi, I made these w/ all oat flour since I'm GF and they turned out poorly since they were flat and not cooked in the middle. Any idea what I can add besides the typical "gums" to thicken them? Egg whites maybe?
Thanks!

Hi Cathy- Unfortunately I do not- I am not familiar with GF recipes. On my baking to do list is all oat flour cookies, I just have not gotten round to them yet. I also bought ap gf flour that I want to bake with.... Maybe next week I will give all oat flour or half oat flour half gf all purpose a try. In this recipe I use 1 extra yolk because it is richer makes cookies chewier- but maybe with all oat flour the egg white would be better? I wish I could give you a better answer but right now I can't- I am going of town but when I am back next week I will try to test different ways and will get back to you 🙂
