Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it contains xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Wet Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Add-ins:
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
   • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
5. Scoop the Cookies:
   • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread a bit while baking.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
   • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Enjoy:
   • Serve your gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

• Texture: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
• Sugar Substitutes: You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference or substitute with a sugar alternative if desired.
• Oats: Make sure the oats are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
