A reliable recipe for making soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies using certified gluten-free ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats and raisins by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use only certified gluten-free rolled oats to prevent cross-contamination.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them; they will firm up as they cool.
  • If your dough seems too soft, chill it for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • If you use a GF flour blend without xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
