Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1 cup mini M&M's
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Stir in the gluten-free oats and then gently fold in the mini M&M's using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop the cookie dough, about 1.5 tablespoons each, onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space (about 2 inches) between cookies to allow for spreading during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy the cookies or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
