If you are a fan of oatmeal cookies, you will love these soft-baked “oatmeal” cookies. The combination of coconut flakes, almond flour, and chocolate chips in these cookies gives them a unique texture similar to that of regular oatmeal cookies. These cookies are delicious as a quick breakfast option, late-night dessert, or even as a mid-day snack. They are simple to make and require simple pantry-friendly ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter. Microwave the butter for 30-40 seconds until completely melted. Add the brown sugar, eggs, and almond extract. Mix to combine using a spatula until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flakes, baking powder, and kosher salt. Whisk to combine. Ensure the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix to combine until fully incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips. Gently fold to combine.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Scoop the cookie dough onto the sheet pan using a 1 oz ice cream scoop. Make sure the cookies are 2 and ½ inches apart.
Transfer the cookies to the oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. About 1-2 minutes into baking, use a heatproof spatula and flatten the tops of the cookies to create an even top. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool for about 2 minutes before eating.
