More and more people are being told by doctors across the country that living gluten free may be a good choice for them. Some of them are diagnosed with celiac disease; some have issues with ADD etc. At first glance this may mean no more pizza, bread, pasta and even cookies. We’ve come a long way since the early days of living gluten free. There are now hundreds of delicious products and thousands of gluten-free recipes out there that allow you to enjoy all your favorite foods – just in a slightly modified way. This gluten free oatmeal cookie recipe is one of my personal favorites.
Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies
* 1/2 cup butter or margarine
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 3/4 cups gluten-free flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* dash of table salt
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
* 1 1/2 cups gluten free oats
* 1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)
Start by preheating your oven to 350F. Soften the butter on the counter so it will be easier to work with. Cream the butter and both the brown and regular sugar with a hand mixer or use your kitchen mixer. Add the vanilla and the egg next and blend again until you have a creamy light yellow colored mixture.
Get out a bowl and add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt. Stir it together until well combined, then work the flour mixture into the butter and egg one. Finish the batter by adding the oats and raisins and mixing everything together.
Line some cookie sheets with parchment paper and drop the cookie batter on, about one tablespoon at a time. Using tow large spoons or a melon baler works well to scoop out the batter.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. They will be golden brown when they are done. Let the cookies cool for a good five minutes on the sheet, then move them to a wire rack. Store the finished cookies in a zip-lock bag.
You will end up with two dozen gluten free oatmeal cookies.
Of course you don’t have to bake all your cookies and other gluten-free treats from scratch. You can get all kinds of baking mixes and even finished gluten free products at local grocery stores and online at websites that specialize in gluten-free products. They are a good alternative. You can even find some gluten-free cookies, already baked and everything that taste pretty good.
In other words, there is no reason to give up delicious baked goods when you are living gluten free.
And now, I would like to invite you to read about another tasty and good-for-you recipe. This one is for quinoa muffins which you can make gluten-free by making them with gluten-free flour. And here are more quinoa recipes for you.
