SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES - GLUTEN FREE



Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Gluten Free image

A recipe from www.celiac.com that I have altered slightly. If your flour mix does not include xanthan gum, add 1 T of ground flax seed (although you may add it anyway as the outcome of the recipe won't be affected). It is also very important to chill the dough before you bake them - they won't spread as much. NOTE; If you are making this recipe as a non-gluten free recipe using regular all-purpose flour, do not use quick oats as the recipe was made with regular long cooking oats.

SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
These oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect blend of chewy and soft, buttery and cinnamon-spiced, brown sugar sweetened with a hint of molasses flavor. They're amazing warm from the oven with a cup of coffee or glass of milk. I love them crumbled over vanilla ice cream, too!
Yield: 2 dozen
prep time: 45 MINUTES (INCLUDES CHILLING) total time: 1 HOUR
Ingredients:
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs*
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon!)
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 and 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (140g) raisins*
1/2 cup (64g) chopped toasted walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Directions: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined. Set aside. In a separate bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed. Dough will be thick, yet very sticky. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator (do the full hour if you're afraid of the cookies spreading too much). If chilling for longer (up to 2 days), allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Roll balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft and undone. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to "set" on the baking sheet during this time. Cover cookies and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. Baked cookies and rolled cookie dough freeze well, up to 3 months. *Room temperature eggs preferred. Good rule of thumb: always use room temperature eggs when using room temperature butter. *Soak your raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before using (blot very well to dry them) - this makes them nice and plump for your cookies. OR even try them with Raisinets!

SOFT CHEWY CINNAMON OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



SOFT CHEWY CINNAMON OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, then combine with vanilla and raisins in a small bowl; cover and let stand for 1 hour. Whisk together flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, all spice; set aside. Cream butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy and the color lightens. Then add in the egg and vanilla mixture (keeping the raisins in the bowl) just until fully incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible. (Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate. Roll dough into logs and put in freezer for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350° Cut frozen cookie dough into even slices. Drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top. Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
