Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Low FODMAP Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

This cookie is halfway between a regular chocolate chip cookie and a typical oatmeal cookie. They are sublimely chewy and perfect for dunking into a glass of lactose-free milk.

Makes 36 cookies; serving size 1 cookie
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time 12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks; 226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/3 cups (284 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups (208 g) old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet)
  • 1 1/4 cups (181 g) low FODMAP gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) miniature semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 2/3 cup (75 g) chopped, toasted walnuts, optional

Instructions

  1. Position racks in upper and lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 325F/165C. Line 2 cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until blended. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Use a sturdy wooden spoon to stir in the oats, flour, baking soda and salt until blended. Stir in morsels, and nuts if using.
  3. Drop cookie dough by generously rounded tablespoons 2 inches (5 cm) apart on cookie sheets; flatten cookies slightly. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, or until edges and tops have just begun to turn light golden brown. The cookies will be a bit soft in the center. Place pans on racks to cool cookies completely. Store cookies at room temperature in airtight container for up to 5 days.
