A simple recipe for making soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies using certified gluten-free ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats and raisins by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary for uniform baking.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use only certified gluten-free rolled oats to prevent cross-contamination.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients to help bind the cookies.
  • For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to set on the hot pan for a few extra minutes before moving them.
