Gluten-Free Cookies with Chickpea Flour, Oats, Chocolate Chunks, and Peanut Butter

Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
• 2 cups chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups chopped chocolate
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup chopped mixed nuts, or to taste (Optional)

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla until everything is smooth and well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until it comes together into a dough. Then fold in the chocolate chunks, oats, and nuts.

Step 2

Pop the dough into the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm up a bit. When it’s chilled, scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and place them on your baking sheets, giving them some space to spread. Bake for about 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
