Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (plus more for topping if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, oat flour, flax seed, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on high for 5 minutes until lightened in color.
  4. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat with the electric mixer until combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and beat again until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to drop 1 1/2 tbsp of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can place chocolate chips directly on each blob of dough if you want chocolate chips to be visible. Otherwise, you can skip this step.
  7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt if desired.

Notes

Oat Flour – you don’t have to buy oat flour if you have plain oats on hand. Just throw them in a blend or food processor and pulse until fine.

Oven rack position – where the cookie sheet is in the oven matters. If using two racks of the oven, rotate the sheets half-way through the cooking time for more even baking. I actually find that time on the bottom rack is more important for these cookies because it helps them get a sturdy base so they don’t collapse in the center when you pick them up!
