The Best Chewy Oatmeal Gluten-Free Cookies

Serve these at parties and events because they are the Best Chewy Oatmeal Gluten-Free Cookies you will ever eat.

I’ve been making this recipe for over 20 years. It’s one of the first things I will choose for potlucks and picnics. The cookies are so easy to make I’ve taught countless church groups and teenagers how to make them for themselves.

I use any standard gluten-free one-to-one flour for my cookie baking. Usually, I use Namaste flour for cookies. I can get Namaste flour in bulk at Costco at a very reasonable price. But Measure for Measure by King Arthur flour works really well too. You can use any one-to-one gluten-free flour substitute you prefer.

For those that can eat gluten: simply use regular all-purpose flour in place of gluten-free flour.

This recipe contains oats. Make sure that the oats you use are gluten-free if needed.

The most important step to make these cookies turn out as the best chewy oatmeal gluten-free cookies you have ever eaten is to cream the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. The color will go from a dark brown to a light golden color when you have mixed them enough.

These cookies will spread when they bake, so make sure not to crowd them together on the pan.

One additional tip: be sure to let the cookies cool on the pan for at least 15 minutes. they will easily fall apart if you remove them before that time. Now, if you just can’t wait and want a gooey-chocolatey cookie, dive in and accept them as they fall apart in your hands.

If you are looking for additional dessert options, Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats, Chocolate Mint Cookies, The Best Cherry Chocolate Cookies, Amazing White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies, Decadent Brownies, or The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Chips Cookies are great choices too.
