Sometimes you just NEED a soft, delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie. This Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is perfect for those cravings! But this cookie is made without all purpose or wheat flour.
I decided to dip my toe into the Grain Mill pond and start with a cookie recipe that utilizes fresh milled oat flour.
This was my first time using my WonderMill and it was so much easier than I anticipated. I’m not sure why I thought it would be complicated because it wasn’t difficult at all. And in full disclosure, the first time I turned it on I jumped back and covered my face like I was disabling a bomb! {Yes, I am a HUGE dork and No, I do not use power tools either}
I’m happy to report that I have used my WonderMill many times and made a variety of flours without causing any bodily harm. Success!
I have previously made a gluten free cookie with rolled oats in place of flour. So, I decided to give that recipe a try with fresh milled oat flour instead of rolled oats. It worked great! In fact these cookies are so much better than the rolled oat cookies that I have made in the past.
The consistency is smooth and soft. I do use peanut butter as a binder, so there is a slight peanut buttery taste. But it is not overpowering. In the future I think I will try using almond butter instead of peanut butter and see if that maybe works better.
I milled Steel Cut Oats to make my oat flour. Also, double check that the other ingredients/brands that you choose {peanut butter, chocolate chips, baking powder} are gluten free.
