All Purpose GF Bread Mix Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookies

Directions

1. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, vanilla powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

3. Add the brown sugar and caster sugar and continue to beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.

4. Add the eggs and molasses and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, beat in the oats, chocolate chips and raisins. Dough will be thick and sticky. 

6. Cover and chill the dough for at least 45 minutes in the refrigerator (and up to 4 days). If chilling for longer than a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.

7. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

8. Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough, about 3 Tablespoons of dough (or 60-62 g) per cookie, and place 4 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 16-17 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.

9. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cookies are still warm, I like to press a few more chocolate chips into the tops– this is only for looks!

10. Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips

1. Cookie dough can be chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. 

2. Raw cookie dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough for an extra minute, they do not need to come to room temperature.
