Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

70g oat flour (or pre-packaged gluten free flour) 

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda (not baking powder)

1/3 cup chocolate chips

2 -4 tbsp raw sugar (depending on the desired sweetness) 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tablespoon vegetable or coconut oil (or pre-melted margarine)

1-3 tablespoons milk, depending on the consistency of the batter.  Start with 1 and work up if/as needed 

Method

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients, then add in the wet ingredients. Form cookies and bake 6-7 minutes. Take out when still underdone–they’ll continue to cook while cooling, and so you don’t want them to get hard. And if you want super-soft cookies, fridge the dough after rolling into balls. Then cook them after the dough is cold. Each ball has 23 calories and 0 grams fat if using the fat-free option of Cookie Ball Pops. They’d probably work with whole-wheat-pastry flour too, but I haven’t tried. Feeling

It is important to note that oats can only be tolerated by some gluten sensitive/intolerant people.  As this recipe contains oat flour, it may not be suitable for people with celiac disease.
