Wheat Free Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

EASY GLUTEN-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Make the dough. Stir together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. The mixture will look like caramel sauce. Add the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Sir until you don't see any streaks of flour. Add the oats and chocolate chips or raisins. Mix until combined.
• Scoop and Bake. Drop dough, about two tablespoons each, onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Space dough about one inch apart. These don't spread much. Bake until set, about 12 minutes.
• Cool. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for minutes. (While they cook, bake the remaining dough on the second baking sheet.) Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
• Store. Keep the cookies covered on the counter for up to four days or freeze for up to three months. To freeze cookies: place in a freezer container and separate layers with a piece of wax or parchment paper. Thaw overnight on the counter.

OATMEAL BARLEY COOKIES (WHEAT FREE)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar and egg until well combined.
• Add vanilla and mix.
• Add remaining dry ingredients and mix to form dough. It will be thick.
• Form dough into cookie-size patties.
• Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 325 degrees F for about 10 minutes. These cookies will not spread very much.
• Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to completely cool.

WHEAT FREE OATMEAL LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixer, cream butter or shortening and brown sugar. Add egg, vanilla, and pinch of salt ( about 1/8 teaspoon salt); beat until fluffy. Stir in oatmeal.
• *Special note about oatmeal: you have to use the quick-cooking kind - rolled oats will result in a crumble. If you only have rolled oats, briefly pulverize in a blender or food processor until small but not powdery.
• On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silpat mat, place tiny balls of dough (a little more than 1/2 teaspoon to get a 2" cookie - these spread!) about 2" apart.
• Bake exactly 6 minutes for chewy cookies, 7 minutes for crisp ones. The original recipe suggests 4 minutes for chewy, 5 for crisp, and I live at a high altitude so that may explain the change. Be sure to check them at 5 minutes.
• **Note about baking time - chewier cookies will be slightly opaque (or "doughy") looking in the very center when you take them out. Crisp cookies will have just turned clear.
• Let cool for just 2 minutes, then pick up the parchment paper or silpat mat and move the entire mat to a wire wrack. Do not try to remove the cookies until they are entirely cooled - they harden as they cool and will break if too soft.
• ***Try drizzling with melted chocolate, or sandwiching them together with buttercream or chocolate ganache. Rich and Delish!

GLUTEN-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a blender, process 1 1/2 cups oats into a fine meal. Whisk together ground oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add oat mixture, beating until combined. Fold in chocolate chips, raisins, and remaining 3 cups oats.
• In batches, drop dough in 2-tablespoonful mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are golden brown at edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack 2 minutes, then transfer to rack and let cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, up to 5 days, or in freezer, up to 1 month.

GLUTEN-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together oats, oat flour, brewers' yeast, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Beat coconut oil, maple syrup, and molasses in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until combined and light in color. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt; beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl and the beater often, until well mixed.
• Add dry ingredients in several additions, beating on low speed until combined. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly dispersed in the dough.
• Scoop evenly sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. For thinner cookies, press down on each ball of dough with the palm of your hand.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
