In an effort to remove allergens from my diet and enjoy the good things, I altered a recipe for oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies into a gluten-free version. This version uses gluten-free baking flour to substitute for wheat flour; Vermont maple sugar instead of brown sugar; sea salt, not table salt; healthy 72% Cacao chips as a substitute for chocolate chips. The result was a yummy soft sweet cookie that is a satisfying treat.

Barred Woods Maple Sugar | 2 TBS Scoop | Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-free flour | Ground Ceylon Cinnamon
Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and Barred Woods maple sugar. Takes about 2-3 minutes to get to a smooth texture.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture.
Use a spatula and mix in the flour-salt-soda-cinnamon mixture and the oatmeal.
Mix this well until all the flour is wet.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
With a large 2 Tbs scoop often used for coffee place dough balls onto the baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 375F and line the large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are just brown and the center is light-colored.
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about a minute before putting them on a cooling rack or plate. Cookies will be soft, so use a thin spatula to quickly scoop them off the baking sheet.
