What holds gluten-free cookies together?

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.

How do you make a crunchier Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookie?

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.

How do you ensure the even baking of gluten-free cookies?

I recommend moving the cookies halfway through by reversing the bottom pan to the top and vice versa.

Aren't Oats naturally gluten-free?

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.

Can I make this recipe with just raisins?

You can leave out the chocolate chips. Use 1 1/2 cups of raisins if you omit the chocolate.

Instructions

Pre-heat Oven to 350 F.
1. Melt Butter and Cool.
2. Whisk cooled Butter, Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Mix Oats, Gluten-Free Flour, Salt, and Baking Soda in a large bowl.
4. Combine Wet and Dry ingredients until well blended.
5. Add Chocolate Chips and optional Raisins. Combine well. The dough will be sticky and thick!
6. Scoop out Cookie Dough with a 1/4 cup spring-loaded scooper.
7. Place Cookie Dough Balls on a Parchment Lined Cookie Sheet. Place in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for approximately 12-15 minutes. Cookies will be golden brown around the bottom edges. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently sliding them onto a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool. Cool completely before storing.

Notes
