Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Butter (softened)
• 1/2 Cup White Sugar
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 TBSP Unsweetened Cocoa
• 1 1/2 Cup Gluten Free Flour
• 3 Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or use these silicone baking mats.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream together your softened butter and sugars. Next add the eggs and vanilla and mix with your hand mixer.

3. 3

   One by one, add the baking powder, salt, unsweetened cocoa and gluten free flour. User your hand mixer to to mix after each addition.

4. 4

   Now it's time to add the gluten free rolled oats. Do not attempt to use your hand mixer. If you have a stand mixer, it may work, but I am not sure, as I do not have one. The best way I have found to mix the rolled oats in is to wash your hands and use your hands to mix it or wear food safe gloves.

5. 5

   Chill your chocolate oatmeal cookie dough in the fridge for at least 40 minutes.

6. 6

   Using a cookie scoop, place your cookie dough on the parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Bake for 9-11 minutes. 9 minutes will give you an amazing chewy cookie. If you like a crunchy outside with a chewy inside, bake for 10 or 11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
