Description

Soft, chewy, and packed with the comforting flavors of oats and chocolate, these gluten-free cookies are a family favorite. Perfect for dessert, a quick snack, or a thoughtful gift, they’re easy to make and packed with wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but so worth it!)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dry stuff: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the egg (or flax egg) and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Combine it all: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just until it comes together—don’t overdo it! Then fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if you’re using them.
  • Scoop and bake: Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
  • Cool down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy cookies, let the dough rest for 20 minutes before baking.
  • These freeze like champs—perfect for when cravings strike.
