Gluten Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the wholesome goodness of oats and the indulgent sweetness of chocolate chips. To create these delicious cookies, I start by using a high-quality box brand of Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, which serves as a convenient base for this recipe. It is essential to carefully follow the directions provided on the box to ensure the best results, as these instructions are designed to yield the perfect cookie texture and flavor.

However, to elevate the standard cookie mix, I enhance the recipe by adding 1 cup of creamy gluten free peanut butter, which not only enriches the flavor but also contributes to a moist and chewy texture in the finished cookies. In addition to the peanut butter, I incorporate 1 cup of gluten free oats into the mixture. The oats add a wonderful chewiness and a subtle nuttiness that complements the peanut butter beautifully. When you mix these ingredients together, you will notice that the dough has a crumbly consistency, which is characteristic of gluten-free baking. This crumbly texture is perfectly normal and can be managed by using your hands to bring the dough together.

To shape the cookies, I recommend using a tablespoon of the dough to form a small ball. Once you have your cookie dough ball, gently flatten it with your palm to create a slightly thicker disc. This shaping technique helps the cookies to bake evenly and achieve that desirable soft center. After shaping the cookies, place them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, which prevents sticking and allows for easier cleanup. To add that final touch of chocolatey goodness, I sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the cookies but also ensures that every bite is filled with melty chocolate.

Finally, I bake the cookies according to the time and temperature specified on the box mix. It's important to keep an eye on them as they bake, as gluten-free cookies can sometimes require slight adjustments in baking time. Once they are golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center, I remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, these Gluten Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!

They make for a fantastic snack or dessert, perfect for sharing with friends and family or savoring all by yourself. The combination of flavors and textures in each cookie is simply irresistible, making them a staple in any gluten-free baking repertoire.
