Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies - oats

Method

• Makes 28-30 cookies, if using a 1.5 ice cream scoop
• 1.
• Preheat oven to 350 F and line 1-2 sheet pans or cookie sheets with Silpat mats.
• If you do not have Silpat mats, parchment paper will work as well.
• Just watch the bottoms of your cookies while baking.
• 2.
• Add your 2 1/2 cups rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until a coarse flour is created, about 30-45 seconds.
• 3.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add your room temperature butter and honey.
• Beat with a paddle attachment until completely combined, about 1 minute.
• Turn mixer off and scrape sides and bottom of bowl.
• 4.
• Next, add your egg and vanilla extract and mix again until thoroughly combined.
• 5.
• Stop mixer and scrape down bowl again.
• Next, add your 1/2 cup natural peanut butter.
• Mix well.
• 6.
• In a separate bowl, mix together newly made coarse oat flour, baking soda, and your salt.
• While mixer is on a slow speed, add your oat mixture into the creamed mixture and combine until just coming together.
• Add chocolate chips and mix again.
• 7.
• Place mixer bowl with dough into the fridge and allow to chill and rest for 10 minutes.
• Nows the perfect time to clean up!
• 8.
• Onto your Silpat lined baking sheets, scoop dough out with a 1.5 ice cream scoop.
• You can also use a tablespoon to do the same thing.
• Place about 1.5 apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• I got about 14 cookies per sheet.
• If you cant fit them all onto the prepared pans, put dough back into fridge when not using it.
• 9.
• Bake cookies in the middle of your oven for 10-12 minutes (turning halfway through baking time).
• Your cookies are done when they have risen and are golden brown around the edges.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove them from the pans to cool completely on a cooking rack.
• These cookies come out puffed and golden, bursting with flavor, and soft as pillows.
• Who would have thought a cookie made without the use of flour OR sugar could be so good!
