Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
by: claire cary
These browned butter gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies are soft, chewy and so easy to make. With a rich nutty flavor from the brown butter, sweetness from the raisins and perfectly crisp edges to round it all out.
Equipment
Ingredients
Wet
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste can use extract instead
Dry
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 1 ¼ cup quick oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the butter to a pot or skillet over medium heat. Stir until melted, then let it continue to simmer until the milk solids at the bottom brown. This will take about 5-8 minutes depending on your pan.
- Be sure to watch it carefully as butter can go from golden to burnt really quickly. You want it a golden to light brown color, but not too dark.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Add in both the brown and white sugars and beat with an electric mixer for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients aside from the raisins and beat to combine.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Scoop using a medium cookie scoop and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges. They will continue to firm as they cool, so I suggest removing from the oven when they still look soft.
- Use a circle cookie cutter to swivel around the edges if desired (this creates perfectly round cookies) and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
If you only have rolled/old fashioned oats, that will work, but the texture of the cookies will be a bit different.
