Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the oats, flour, powder, and soda in a bowl and set aside.

In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.

Add in the dry ingredients and beat until combined with the butter and sugars – dough will be crumbly.

With the stand mixer on medium-low, pour in the almond milk. Beat only until a dough has formed – about 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Fold in the optional mix-ins.

Scoop and roll into 2 tablespoon balls and set in the fridge for 15+ minutes.

Place dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 14-16 minutes*, until golden around the edges.

Allow to cool on a wire rack and ENJOY!

Notes

*Don’t bake them more than this. Mine usually have this dough, slightly under baked look in the middle after about 15 minutes but they don’t need to bake any longer than 16 minutes. Once they cool, they set and are PERFECT!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Your Vegan Butter First 🧈
Melt and lightly brown your vegan butter before mixing to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor that elevates the overall cookie taste and mimics traditional butter cookies.
Chill Dough for Chewiness 🧊
Refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create that signature thick, chewy texture you're after.
Toast Your Oats 🌾
Lightly toast the old-fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough to enhance their nutty flavor and add complexity to your cookies.
Underbake Slightly for Optimal Texture 🍪
Remove cookies from the oven when edges are golden but the center still looks slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet for perfect chewiness.
Balance Sugar Ratio for Moisture 🍬
Use slightly more dark brown sugar than granulated sugar, as molasses content in brown sugar adds moisture and creates chewier, more tender cookies than white sugar alone.
