Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup Gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C).
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it cook until it becomes very bubbly, then stir it frequently as the bubbles begin to subside and the butter develops a brown, caramel-like color.
  • Allow the butter to cool for 10 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Using either a hand-held mixer or a spatula, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and using your hand-held mixer on low speed, combine.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Use a cookie scoop and portion out your cookie batter onto the parchment paper leaving each cookie about 1/2 inch apart.
  • Bake for 13 -15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown on the top.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • Store in a glass container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Non-Gluten Free - You can sub the gluten free flour regular all purpose flour but make sure to remove the xanthan gum if you are not using gluten free flour.
Raisins - Sub the chocolate chips for raisins if you prefer.
Vegan Butter- Make these cookies vegan by subbing the butter for vegan butter.  Keep in mind that vegan butter won't brown the way regular butter does but the flavour will still come through.
Vegan 'Eggs' - Replace the eggs with flax seeds and water.  For flax eggs mix two tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let this sit for 10 minutes to form a gel egg-like texture.
