1cuphigh-quality GF all-purpose flour containing xanthan gum*I used King Arthur's Measure for Measure.
1 ½cupsGF organic rolled oats
⅔cuplight brown sugar
⅓cupgranulated sugar
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
¾cupsemi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
1stickunsalted butter (or ½ cup)room temperature
1large egg
2teaspoonpure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a cookie sheet with some butter, or use a silicone mat insert.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly-distributed. Set aside.
In a large-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add butter along with both the granulated sugar and the light brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add in egg and vanilla extract. Beat until well-combined.
Add in flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix. It's okay to still see a little flour at this stage.
Stir in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly-distributed.
Measure out 1 tbsp. of dough per cookie and roll between the palms of your hands until it forms a ball. Place on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart from the sides and other cookie balls.
Bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. It's normal if the middle looks slightly underdone/soft, it will firm up when it comes to room temperature.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before storing. You can keep these in an air-tight container at room temperature for around 4-5 days.
Enjoy!
Notes
*Avoid using GF flours containing ingredients such as chickpea/garbanzo bean flour. lentil flour, and pea protein in baked goods. It can leave a weird aftertaste.
