Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 27 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 stick plus 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup brown rice flour
  • ⅓ cup white rice flour
  • ⅓ cup gluten free oat flour
  • ¼ cup potato starch
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1½ cups gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1½ cups butterscotch chips, divided
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together butter, cane sugar, brown sugar, and egg until pale and smooth. Add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
  3. In a smaller mixing bowl, sift together cinnamon, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, brown rice flour, white rice flour, oat flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until well incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Add oats to cookie dough and mix until combined. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix in 1 cup of butterscotch baking chips.*
  5. Scoop dough into walnut sized drops on cookie sheet 2" apart. Press 5-6 additional butterscotch chips on the tops of the balls of dough. Bake one pan at a time for 11-13 minutes until golden brown and cookies look set. Allow cookies to cool on pan for at least 5 minutes and then continue cooling on cooling rack.
  6. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for a week, or in freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*You may chill the dough for 1-2 hours before baking for a slightly thicker cookie. Increase the bake time by about 1-2 minutes.
