These chocolate chip cookies are an Ooni tried and true favorite. Created specifically for our Ooni Volt oven, this recipe makes big, luxurious cookies that bake up in just fifteen minutes. Brown butter and buckwheat flour are the secret to making these treats nutty, tender and full of flavor.
As a cookie aficionado, recipe creator, writer and editor Katie Rice has tried and tested a lot of different chocolate chip cookies over the years. Her version, with the cookie size and bake time tweaked and refined for the Ooni Volt (though they work great in a home oven, too!), combines all of the best parts of the recipes she’s used throughout the years: brown butter, buckwheat flour and chocolate chunks.
Deviating from the standard Toll House recipe, Katie starts with brown butter–butter that is heated on the stovetop until the water is cooked out and the milk solids turn golden and aromatic–which gives the finished product a deep, rich and caramely flavor. Using dry milk powder in the brown butter—a product that’s easily available in the baking aisle of your local supermarket—adds more milk solids to the mix, which means more delicious browned bits. Can’t find it? Just omit it.
By browning the butter, you start with a liquid fat that’s easily incorporated into the sugar, which means this recipe only requires a whisk and a spatula. No need for creaming butter and sugar with electric appliances! Another unexpected twist is in the inclusion of buckwheat flour. High in protein, but free of gluten, buckwheat flour makes baked goods more tender, while also imparting a nutty flavor. If you don’t have any on hand, you can always sub in all-purpose flour. As a final touch, the chocolate in these cookies uses a combination of chips and chopped chocolate, making each bite full of different textures.
Four of these large, bakery-style cookies bake at a time in Ooni Volt, perfect for making after dinner or when you just need a little sweet pick-me-up. The recipe makes a full dozen, so you can bake batches or cook four right away and freeze the rest for a rainy day (freezer instructions below).

Note
Please make sure to rest your cookies (for at least an hour or up to a day). Without a rest, the butter won’t have time to set up, the flour won’t have time to hydrate and you may end up with a squidgy, spread-out cookie.
