Since discovering I have a few friends who can’t eat gluten, I’ve really enjoyed trying different gluten free recipes, like my brownies and pizza. These cookies were supposed to be gluten free… then I found out not all oats are created equal. Whoops. But they were really delicious, so next time I’ll have to get some specifically GF oats so I can share with my GF friends!
Chocolate Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen. Gluten free.
Ingredients
1/2 C GF oats
3/4 C GF oat flour (you can buy this or make by putting oats in a food processor)
1 Tbsp corn or potato starch
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash salt
1 stick butter
1/3 C sugar
1/4 C packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp milk
1/2 C chocolate chips
1/2 C shredded coconut

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a silicone mat.
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, oat flower, starch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a smaller bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla.
4. Slowly add wet to dry. Add milk if mixture seems too dry.
5. Fold in chocolate and coconut.

Warning: these are very addictive! You might not want to share ;)
