How To Make the Ultimate Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Step-by-Step
Full instructions in recipe card.
Pre-heat Oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt Butter and cool to room temperature.
- Whisk cooled melted Butter, Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Mix Oats, Gluten-Free Flour, Salt, and Baking Soda in a large bowl.
- Combine Wet Ingredients and Dry ingredients until well blended.
- Add Chocolate Chips and optional Raisins. Combine well. The dough will be sticky and thick!
- Scoop out Cookie Dough with a 1/4 cup spring-loaded cookie. Scoop onto a large baking sheet.
- Place Cookie Dough Balls on a Parchment Paper Lined Cookie Sheet. Place in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for approximately 12-15 minutes. Cookies will be light golden brown around the bottom edges. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently sliding them onto a wire cooling rack. They will firm up as they cool. Cool completely before storing.
Storage
- Store the baked cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
FAQ’s about Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Using a flour blend such as Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour from King Arthur contains xanthan gum to replace the gluten. The recipe also includes eggs which act as a binder.
Let the cookies bake for an extra minute or two until light golden brown. The longer the cooking time, the crunchier the cookie, and the shorter the time the cookie will be softer. Be careful not to burn the bottoms.
I recommend moving the cookies halfway through by reversing the bottom pan to the top and vice versa.
This is a common question. Oats get contaminated by wheat and other grains if grown in adjacent fields or packaged in a factory that handles gluten grains such as wheat. It’s essential to use certified Gluten-Free Oats. Most gluten-sensitive individuals can tolerate gluten-free oats and oatmeal.
You can leave out the chocolate chips. Use 1 1/2 cups of raisins if you omit the chocolate.
