Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 3 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1 stick butter, room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1¼ cup Pamela's gluten free all purpose flour**
  • 1¼ cup gluten free old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 cup desired mix-ins (chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, Craisins, Heath bits, raisins, coconut, almonds, etc.)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat mat. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until smooth. Add gluten free all purpose flour and mix until incorporated. Add gluten free oats and mix on low until combined.
  3. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir in desired mix-ins. Let dough sit for 15 mins.
  4. Drop tablespoon size balls of dough and place 1" apart on baking sheet (12 cookies per sheet). Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are barely browning and tops are no longer shiny.
  5. Remove from oven and slide parchment paper with cookies onto cooling rack. Allow cookies to completely cool. Repeat as necessary to bake all cookies.
  6. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in fridge for up to 1 week, or in freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
*If making cranberry white chocolate cookies, reduce vanilla to ¾ teaspoon and add ¼ teaspoon almond extract and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger. Add ½ cup Craisins and ¾ cup white chocolate chips.
**This blend contains guar gum which is similar to xanthan gum. If your gluten free flour mix does not contain either of these two ingredients, add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum to your flour mix.
