Equipment

  • Cookie sheet
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cookie scoop
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces vegan butter I used earth balance vegan buttery sticks
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour*
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup old fashioned oats*
  • 1 ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream vegan butter and both sugars for 3 minutes on medium speed, scraping the bowl halfway through.
  • Add the vanilla, egg, and yolk to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until well combined.
  • Add the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt to the dairy-free butter mixture and beat together until thoroughly combined.
  • Add dairy-free chocolate chips to the bowl and beat again just for a second until the chocolate chips are mixed evenly throughout the batter.
  • Using a small cookie scoop place 8 scoops of dough evenly spaced apart on the prepared sheet pans. They do spread so give them some space.
  • Bake for 10 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is light and looks underdone.
  • You want the edges to be brown but not the centers. The centers will look a little under baked but will set up as they cool. The entire cookie should not be golden brown when it comes out of the oven, if so it is over baked.

Notes

* Make this recipe gluten-free! Use gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum and gluten-free old-fashioned oats.
