These small two-bite cookies are super fun to share! Everyone loved these gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, so it is a good thing it makes a large batch of 7 dozen cookies, so there are plenty for everyone to grab and go with! Thanks to Enjoy Life for sponsoring this gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipe as part of our ongoing partnership! I was recently browsing through all of the gluten-free cookie recipes that I have on my site and was surprised to realize I hadn’t yet posted a great gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. I knew I had to remedy that! Lately, I’ve had more events to attend where I need to bring along a dessert with many servings. I thought I’d make these cookies 2-bite sized so there’s plenty for everyone to share. My husband brought a container full of these gluten-free oatmeal cookies into his office, since we had so many. A co-worker of his, that I’ve never met, sent him an email and asked him to forward it to me. She said, “I just wanted to tell you that these are the best cookies I think I have ever eaten! They make my taste buds SING! Thank you so much for sharing with us.” If that isn’t a ringing endorsement from a gluten-eater, I don’t know what is! It made me heart happy! I want gluten eaters to love my cookies! One batch of this dough made 7 dozen little cookies, each about 2 bites! It’s definitely nice to have multiple cookie sheets so you can have one pan ready to go in the oven right when another pan comes out. I use parchment paper on my cookie sheets, so after the cookies cool for about 2-3 minutes on the sheet, I just slide the whole sheet of parchment with cookies onto a cooling rack. Grab a new sheet of parchment, and scoop the next batch up. Parchment paper is so cheap, and this makes for easy clean-up, no burned crumbs on the pan as you reuse it, and helps prevent burned cookie bottoms too. I used my smallest cookie scoop to scoop these up. It’s a number 60 scoop, or just called a “small cookie scoop”. Since I was making small, two-bite cookies, I didn’t want to use big chocolate chunks in these. Instead I opted for semi-sweet mini-chips. Anytime I want mini chips, my go-to is Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chips. They’re 1) delicious, 2) good and chocolatey, 3) certified gluten-free, and 4) dairy-free too! I used to only buy these online from Amazon or direct from Enjoy Life. But now, more and more stores in my area are carrying these, so I can just add them to my cart while shopping locally. I gave a range for the amount of chocolate chips in this recipe. If you want yours extra chocolatey, use the full 1 1/2 cups. If you want your cookie more focused on oatmeal, then use 1 cup. TIP: If you want your cookies to look like mine do in the photos, keep some of the chocolate chips aside to sprinkle on the hot cookies right when you take them out of the oven! This recipe doesn’t use an entire bag of Enjoy Life semisweet mini chips. Of course, I’ve got ideas for the rest of those mini chocolate chips! You can hide them in your secret chocolate stash. You can use them in these gluten-free chocolate chip scones from my friend Cindy that look perfect for having with a cup of coffee! Or along the lines of these small cookies I made, you can make even smaller cookies – this gluten-free vegan cookie crunch cereal! So cute! You can also use the mini chips and the oats in these gluten-free banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I’ve made them several times now and they’re always a hit. If you’d prefer to make regular sized cookies instead of these mini cookies, you can use a medium scoop (#40 scoop) instead. You’ll bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes and will get 3 dozen cookies. Tip: If your cookies are spreading too much, be sure your pans aren’t hot, you’re using parchment paper instead of greasing the pans, and chill the dough longer. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did! My boys just polished off the last of them in their lunches today! Everyone loved these gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, so it is a good thing it makes a large batch of 7 dozen cookies, so there are plenty for everyone to grab and go with! If your flour blend contains xanthan gum or guar gum already, omit the xanthan gum called for in this recipe. See blog post for questions about products or substitutions. Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats -either old fashioned or rolled. You can use 1 cup of mini chocolate chips or up to 1 1/2 cups if you want yours extra chocolatey. You can also save some for sprinkling on top of the cookies after baking if you want them to look like mine do in the photos. If you can have dairy, free free to use butter in this recipe. I've made them with butter as well and they're equally delicious. They do spread more when using butter. If you'd prefer to make regular sized cookies instead of these mini cookies, you can use a medium scoop (#40 scoop) instead. You'll bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes and will get 3 dozen cookies.

These were SO good. I decided to half the recipe which ended up being a good idea because this recipe makes quite a lot of cookies. A few other notes -- I used almond flour, doubled the vanilla (aka I didn't half it), and I used dark chocolate chips (I prefer my cookies a little less sweet so this helped balance out the sugar). I also found they needed a little longer in the oven and that the parchment paper is a must!! These cookies really thin and out and spread (which I love). They ended up being so chewy and moist and delicious

What can I use successfully to substitute the sugar. I usually use honey.

I don't do any sugar substitutions so your guess is as good as mine!
