Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats old-fashioned

Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until just combined.
  4. Add the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Using a spatula, fold in the gluten-free rolled oats until evenly incorporated.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Do not overbake.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, add 1 cup of raisins or chocolate chips.
Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for best results.
Storing in an airtight container will keep them chewy for days.
