Ingredients

2 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder

3/4 cup quick oats

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp oat flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules

1/4 cup chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup vegetable oil or coconut oil

2 tbsp water

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well.

In a cup, combine liquid ingredients, then pour wet into dry and stir until incorporated fully.

Transfer to a plastic bag and smush into a ball. Now you can roll into smaller balls or fridge until a little firmer. (Note: if you use coconut oil, these cookies will harden when chilled, but they go back to being soft if left out.) You could also bake these if you wish. For gluten-free: be sure to use certified-gf oats and oat flour.
