Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set them aside.

In a large bowl, place the all purpose flour, xanthan gum, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar, and whisk to combine well. Add the brown sugar, and whisk to combine again, working out any lumps. Add the oats and stir to combine. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter, peanut butter, egg and egg yolk and vanilla, mixing to combine after each addition. The cookie dough should be thick. Add the chocolate chips tossed with cornstarch, and mix until the chips are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Divide the dough into pieces of about 2 tablespoons each, roll each tightly into a ball and then place about 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten the balls of dough very slightly, and chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes (or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes).

Once the dough has chilled, place in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or just until the balls of dough have melted and spread and the cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges. Some may even be slightly wet toward the center. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet or until firm.
