Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups ground oatmeal (to flour consistency)

1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 1/4 teaspoons instant coffee, finely ground (optional)

12 ounces chocolate chips

Preparation

1 Before starting, grind enough oatmeal in the food processor to make the necessary 1 3/4 cups you will need to make these cookies! Or, if you’re lucky enough to find Oat Flour, use that!

2 With electric mixer, blend butter with both sugars, egg and vanilla extract.

3 Add dry ingredients to mixture- blend well.

4 Stir in chocolate chips.

5 Spoon golf ball-size balls of mixture onto prepared cookie sheets (either use cooking spray or parchment paper).

6 Bake at 265 degrees for 23 minutes (yes, I know this sounds strange, but trust me, it works!). or 350 for 9-10 min. They make 2 dozen large cookies. I ended up baking them for 25 min. So depending on your oven 23-25 min.
