Buttery, Chewy Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies ~ Gluten-Free
Jump to RecipeThese Oatmeal Cookies are so buttery and chewy that they melt in your mouth. I also love the fact that there are only 8 ingredients needed...all ingredients that we usually have on-hand.
Of course, a HUGE "Thank You" to Ree Drummond (aka: The Pioneer Woman) for sharing the original recipe for these wonderful cookies! The only thing that I changed was swapping out the regular flour with Gluten-Free Flour ;) These cookies earned a 5-Star review in our house!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar firmly packed
- 1 Cup Salted Butter, Softened
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 ½ Cups Better Batter All Purpose Gluten Free Flour Mix you can use other brands, but make sure they contain Xanthan Gum - results will vary
- 1 tsp Salt (table)
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 3 Cups Gluten-Free Old Fashioned Oats I use Quaker Brand
- ½ Cup Finely Chopped Nuts optional ~ I did not include nuts due to nut allergies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Line 1-2 cookie sheets with Parchment Paper or a baking pad. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, combine the Brown Sugar and Softened Butter until light and fluffy.
- Next, add the Vanilla and the Eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after adding each Egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the GF Flour, Salt and Baking Soda until well-blended.
- Slowly add the Flour mixture to the Butter mixture, one cup at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
- Next, add the Oats (and Chopped Nuts, if using), one cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix until all Oats are blended (be sure to check the very bottom of the bowl for any dry oats).
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon of your desired size (I used a 2" cookie scoop), drop cookie dough balls onto prepared cookie sheets several inches apart (they spread!)
- Bake for 12-14 minutes (longer if you want crispy cookies).
- Cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream :)
