Ingredients
1 c (148g) gluten-free 1:1 flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c (113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 c (150g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 c (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c (140g) old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking or instant)
3/4 c (120g) seedless raisins
Instructions
PREPARE THE COOKIE DOUGH
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free 1:1 flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), mix together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for ~1-2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until well incorporated, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until no flour streaks remain.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oats and raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough (and fully coated by the dough).
- Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for ~15-20 minutes while the oven preheats.
BAKE THE COOKIES
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into 2 1⁄2 tbsp portions (50g) and place six cookies on each pan, spaced a few inches apart. Use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to lightly press down on the top of each cookie to slightly flatten.
- Bake one tray at a time on the middle rack of the oven for 9-12 minutes. The edges will be slightly golden and the center will be slightly underdone and pale in color.
- Remove from the oven and place the tray on a wire cooling rack. Use a large round cookie/biscuit cutter or the rim of a small bowl to gently swirl the cookies around to slightly push in the edges, creating an even round shape.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for ~10 minutes and then transfer to the wire rack to finish cooling.
