Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups gluten free flour blend see notes
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups 125 g gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup 45g Nutiva shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups 345g light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • In a medium/small bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the gluten free oats.
  • Add the melted butter, shortening, and light brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat together until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix untillight in color, creamy, and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Scrape down the bowl add the flour/oat mixture to the bowl. Mix on medium-low speed until completely combined, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated.
  • Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Use an OXO large scoop to scoop the dough. Roll the dough into balls and slightly flatten to form a puck shape.
  • Bake in batches of 6-8 cookies at a time on a single sheet on the center rack for 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan to cool on a wire rack.(The cookies will look under-done when they first come out but will finish baking as they cool on the pan.

Notes

I used my nightshade free gluten free flour blend in this recipe which weighed 170g.
This cookie dough can be frozen. Scoop and form the dough into pucks and place on a baking sheet covered in wax paper and freeze. Once the dough is frozen solid, transfer to a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. Bake the frozen dough balls as directed for 14 minutes.
