Open in Pepper →Oats do most of the work in a good oatmeal cookie anyway, so leaving out the wheat flour isn't much of a stretch. You still get chewy edges, soft middles, and a pan of cookies out of the oven before the kids wander into the kitchen.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when somebody in the house can't have gluten but still wants a cookie in their lunchbox, or when it's 8 p.m. and the only thing in the pantry is a canister of oats and some chocolate chips.
Every recipe here keeps it simple: plain oatmeal cookies with strawberries and chocolate chips, banana oatmeal cookies held together with mashed banana, peanut butter oatmeal cookies, no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, and Charlie Browns made on the stovetop with cocoa and milk.
Use certified gluten-free oats
Regular oats are often milled alongside wheat, so check the bag for a gluten-free label if that matters in your house.
Boil no-bakes a full minute
For the no-bake chocolate cookies and Charlie Browns, let the sugar, butter, and milk boil hard for 60 seconds before adding the oats or they'll stay soupy.
Chill the dough
Without wheat flour, dough spreads fast. Thirty minutes in the fridge keeps the cookies thick instead of flat and lacy.
Pull them early
Take the pan out at 10 to 12 minutes when the centers still look soft; they finish setting up on the hot sheet.
