Notes

Pro tip: Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to easily partition the batter. This way, the cookies will be the same size and perfectly round

Cookie tips

Chill out! – While note required, chilling the batter takes extra time yes, but I it will yield the best cookies. This allows the butter to harden so the cookies do not flatten while baking. Chill for 30 minutes if you decide to do this step.
Don’t overbake – When the edges start to turn golden brown, and the fresh cookie smell fills your kitchen, that’s when you’ll know the cookies are done. If you overbake, the texture will not be as soft and fluffy.

How to store these gluten-free cookies

Storage – Store these cookies in an air-tight container or ziplock bag on the counter for up to 5 days. Make sure the cookies have cooled to room temperature on a wire rack before storing.

Freezing – You can freeze these delicious gluten free cookies or even the cookie dough. If freezing the cookie dough, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before baking.

Cookie FAQS

Rolled oats vs. quick oats?

Rolled oats won’t absorb as much liquid as quick oats, so they’ll be a tad bit flatter but have more moisture.

I like using rolled oats, but you can use quick oats or a combination of both. And make sure your oats are certified gluten-free!

Are oats gluten-free?

While oats are technically speaking, gluten free. They are highly cross contaminated with wheat. So it is very important to use certified gluten-free oatswhen baking with them.

Can you make these cookies vegan?

Yes, you can make vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies by swapping out eggs for flax eggs and butter for vegan butter. Also, make sure you use vegan chocolate chips!
