Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Raw Cane Sugar
- ¾ cup butter, unsalted and softened
- 1 ¼ cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 ⅔ cup oat flour
- ⅓ cup plus ¼ cup dutch process cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pour the Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Raw Cane Sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand-mixer or using a large bowl and a hand mixer, beat the butter, Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar, salt and vanilla together for 5-7 minutes until very light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the egg and yolks and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
Step 6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined.
Step 7
Drop the cookie dough into 1½ tablespoon balls on the parchment paper, leaving generous amounts of space between them as the cookies will spread.
Step 8
Dip the dough mounds in the Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Raw Cane Sugar, rolling gently to cover the dough in sugar. Return dough to cookie sheet.
Step 9
Bake for exactly 10 minutes.
Chef's Tip
Store in an air-tight container to avoid the cookies drying out and losing their chewiness.
Use a 1½ tablespoon (¾ oz) ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough equally.
For a darker look and deeper taste, substitute the ¼ cup of the dutch process cocoa with black cocoa.
