Vegan Gluten Free Cookie Dough

This edible cookie dough is all about texture: toasting the oat flour first gives it a nutty, safe-to-eat-raw flavor before it ever gets folded into the mix, so you get that classic just-scooped-from-the-bowl experience without an oven in sight. Brown sugar brings deep caramel notes while a touch of vanilla rounds everything out, and a generous fold of chocolate chips throughout means every spoonful has that melty, chunky payoff. The dough comes together fast with just a hand mixer, turning cohesive and scoopable in minutes, then chills into an even sturdier, fudgier bite if you can wait. Keep it in the fridge for snack-ready spoonfuls all week, straight from an airtight container. It's an easy one to keep in your plant-based rotation whenever a cookie dough craving hits.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp fine salt
¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1
Spread the gluten free oat flour in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, until the flour smells lightly toasted and feels dry to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan, about 15 minutes, before using.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
