Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend; see NOTE)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Set two racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Oil baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until blended. Beat in the egg until smooth. Add vanilla and beat until combined. Turn mixer to lowest speed and add dry ingredients a little at a time. Blend just to combine, then add the chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons into hands, roll into balls, place on baking sheets 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with hand.
  5. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, turning pans halfway through cooking so they bake evenly and watching carefully after 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven immediately if cookies are becoming brown around the edges. Cookies are done when tops look dry and set or are just beginning to brown.
  6. After two minutes, place cookies on racks to cool. Store in airtight container or freeze.
Note
NOTE: If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
