Description
A recipe for chewy, rich cookies made with certified gluten-free oats and dark chocolate chunks, capturing the taste of traditional Irish baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (60-70% cacao)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oats, gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks using a spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
- 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 avoid cross-contamination.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a solid vegan butter stick and use dairy-free dark chocolate.
- If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/4 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
