GF Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
• 1 ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, but recommended)
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• Wet Ingredients:
• ½ cup melted coconut oil
• ½ cup + 2 tablespoon coconut sugar
• 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoon warm water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes) or regular egg if not vegan
• 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• Add-ins:
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients.
Whisk until well-mixed.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Whisk as long as you can.
Switch to stirring and folding with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Fold in chocolate chips.
Cover bowl and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes, until firm throughout.
If necessary, allow to thaw at room temperature just until it’s soft enough to scoop, but still very firm and chilled.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Cookies will spread a bit.
Optionally, press chocolate chips into cookies—this will help decrease sticking when flattening the cookies.
Using a spoon, flatten the cookies about half way for thick cookies.
Flatten considerably for just slightly thick cookies.
The dough will be a bit sticky.
Bake for 12-16 minutes.
Mine took 14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes (on a cooling rack).
Using a heatproof spatula, lift cookies off the sheet and transfer directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing.
