Wheat Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
(I adapted the Nestle Toll House Classic recipe)
Ingredients
• 2 1/4 cups oat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• ½ to ¾ cup oats (not the quick oats) *start by adding ½ cup and add if needed for consistency
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 bag Ghirardelli dark chocolate/65% cacao chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto PARCHMENT paper. Because they are gluten-free, they will melt and get quite large. Once cooled, they are thin and crispy.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on counter top for 5 minutes….then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
