Here's How To Bake Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

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 gluten free living. There are now thousands of products and many thousand gluten-free recipes out there for you to enjoy. Take this gluten free oatmeal cookie recipe for example.

 

Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

 

• 1/2 cup butter


• 1/2 cup light-brown sugar


• 1/4 cup 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)

 

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Set out the butter or margarine so it has a chance to soften. Cream the butter and both the brown and regular sugar with a hand mixer or use your kitchen mixer. The egg and vanilla should be incorporated next. Take your time and keep blending until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.

 

Sift together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and gum in another bowl. Give those dry ingredients a good stir, then work it into the egg mixture. Finish the batter by adding the oats and raisins and mixing everything together.

 

Scoop one tablespoon of batter onto a greased baking sheet per cookie. Keep working until you have your cookie sheet filled up. You can either use two soup spoons for this or a melon baller.

 

You should bake these oatmeal cookies a good ten minutes. A golden brown color will let you know that it's time to take the oatmeal cookies out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for a good five minutes on the sheet, then move them to a wire rack. Keep them in an airtight tin if there are any leftover. You should end up with about 24 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 the perfect alternative. There are even some premade cookies that you can purchase that taste pretty decent.

 

In short, you do not have to give up on your favorite treats when you have to switch to eating gluten free.
