Serves: 40 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1½ sticks butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill 1:1 baking flour (not their all purpose baking flour)*
  • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten free old fashioned oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1½ cups preferred mix-ins: chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts, etc.
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add vanilla and mix on low until incorporated.
  3. In a smaller mixing bowl, sift together cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and flour. Add to wet mixture and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Mix on medium for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Add oats and preferred mix-ins and mix on low until incorporated. Allow dough to sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir dough one more time, making sure that sides and bottom of bowl are mixed well.
  6. Drop rounded heaping tablespoon sized balls of dough 2" apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and cookies are lightly browning on tops. Remove from oven and slide parchment paper with cookies onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies off parchment paper directly onto cooling rack to continue cooling. Repeat with remaining dough.
  7. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, in fridge for up to 1 week, or in freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*Add ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum if you use a gluten free flour blend that does not contain any gums.
