Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup [light] butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 TSP pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 TSP sea salt plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 TSP nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, pulse the oats to create a coarse flour. Aim to keep some of the texture and not to puree until its completely smooth. (I counted 25 super short pulses.) Remove from processor.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the food processor and pulse until combined.
  • Add the vanilla and egg to the mix, and pulse to combine again.
  • Put the oats, flour, salt, and nutmeg in the processor and pulse to combine. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
  • Dust your counter surface with a handful of oats and a few sprinkles of sugar. This will give you a bit of an oat/sugar crust. Place the dough on the surface and roll it into a uniform log with your hands.
  • Roll the log in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Cut the log into 20 slices and spread them onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake until the edges begin to brown, 14-16 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to fully cool on a wire rack.
  • Warm the dark chocolate in either the microwave or via stovetop. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate evenly onto the cookies. Allow them to cool again before eating.
