Servings: 24
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oat flour**
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Position your oven rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Coat 2 large baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, stir together the cooled melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
- Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until blended.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Stir the remaining chocolate chips and peanuts into the cookie dough.
- Divide the dough evenly into 24 portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Place the balls of cookie dough on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- With the bottom of a glass, press each ball to form a 3/8-inch thick cookie.
- Sprinkle each cookie evenly with the reserved chocolate chip-chopped peanut mixture, pressing lightly so it sticks.
- Bake the cookies, one cookie sheet at a time, in the center of the oven, until the edges are lightly browned, 9-11 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the baking sheets on wire racks, allowing the cookies to cool in the pan for about 1 minute. Then, with a spatula, transfer the cookies to the racks and let them cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
