If you love chunky cookies with lots of goodies in them, you're in for a treat! These gluten free cowboy cookies are filled with yummy mix-ins like coconut and chocolate chips. These cookies are also dairy free, egg free, and peanut free!Gluten free, dairy free, egg free, peanut free
½cup+ 2 Tablespoons gluten free old fashioned oats
⅓cupsunflower seeds**(Completely optional, you can leave this out or use chopped pecans if you can have them)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the dairy free butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Add the King Arthur all purpose gluten free baking mix to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
Add the sorghum flour, dairy free milk, cinnamon, baking soda, salt (if adding any), and mix again until a dough forms.
Mix in the chocolate chips, coconut, old fashioned oats, and the sunflower seeds (if using). Mix together until well distributed into the cookie dough.
Roll cookie dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls and place on the prepared cookie sheets, pressing the dough down slightly.
Bake for 11 minutes in the preheated oven.
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*Gluten free all purpose baking mix is a bit different than gluten free all purpose flour. The King Arthur Flour baking all purpose baking mix I use already has xanthan gum and baking powder in it, some gluten free flours do not have those in them, so make sure to read the label on the flour you choose. Xanthan gum is important for this recipe to hold together since it doesn’t have eggs. **Traditionally, Cowboy Cookies have chopped pecans in them, but since my daughter is allergic to pecans we skipped that. We tried these with and without sunflower seeds, they are good either way. You can skip the sunflower seeds altogether if you like, or you can use chopped pecans if you can have them.
