It’s rainy and gloomy here, and nothing sounded better than a chewy oatmeal raisin cookie. I had been searching for a good gluten free recipe to try out. One that I knew would make chewy cookies.
I found this super simple recipe at Farm to Table that uses real ingredients. If you are going to splurge, sometimes it’s better to just use real butter and sugar! I halved the recipe as the full one makes 3-4 dozen cookies. I definitely don’t want that many lying around the house!
If you do use the full recipe, just be prepared to use two sticks of butter!
For cookies, especially gluten free ones, make sure to use really fresh baking soda. This will help puff up the cookies as they cook. Also make sure that your butter is at room temp so it creams with the sugar really easily.
Once everything is mixed, I like to use an ice cream scoop so that my cookies are roughly the same size.
I bake them until they are just starting to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes for good sized cookies.
They store really well for up to a week in a sealed container. Perfect for sharing with coworkers for family!
