How To Make gluten free surprise oatmeal chip cookies

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar, & brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine gluten free flour, oats, nutmeg, xanthan gum, and baking soda. Mix together. ** will post link to my all purpose gluten free flour mixture below in comments.
  • Step 3
    Add dry mixture to creamed sugar mixture and mix well. About 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape down sides of bowl. Fold in milk chocolate chips.
  • Step 4
    Line cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. Drop by tablespoon, or use a cookie scoop to drop in one inch balls on cookie sheet, about two inches apart. Flatten dough with a fork to about a quarter inch thick.
  • Step 5
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cookies will be soft inside, crispy outside. Let cookies stand for 2 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove to wire rack and allow to cool. Or eat warm... thats the best!
