How to Make Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (5 Simple Steps)
Step 1 – Preheat
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Cream the Butter & Sugars
Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy — about 2 minutes.
Step 3 – Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4 – Add Dry Ingredients
Add gluten free flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until combined.
Step 5 – Add Chocolate Chips & Bake
Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto your baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden on the edges but soft in the center.
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies
Use dark brown sugar for the chewiest texture.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
Always use certified gluten free oats to ensure safety.
