Oatmeal Cookies

By awright0511

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Cream Hill Estates GF Rolled Oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
• 1/3 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
• scant 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup raisins (only good ones, or just double up on the chocolate chips)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the egg, and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, reserving a few tablespoons of dry ingredients, and mix to combine.

4. Add the chocolate chips and raisins to the reserved dry ingredients, and toss to coat. Fold the chips and raisins into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

5. Drop the cookies in about 1″ balls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper (or greased foil). Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges. Cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These freeze really well, and they are nothing if not toothsome. Enjoy!
