Gluten Free Spice Cookies
I don’t think I’ve ever had a cookie quite melt in my mouth the way that this one does! The butter, the spices, the crunch….. I can guarantee you’ll have a hard time putting these cookies down!
So, here’s the deal. At the time I’m writing this, we are well into the holiday season. I’ve made gluten free ginger snaps, keto snickerdoodles, keto sugar cookies and keto chocolate chip cookies. And in case you didn’t know, my keto recipes are also gluten free!
And NOW, it was time for spice cookies. But not just any spice cookies. low carb, gluten free Oatmeal spice cookies, that is!
I am a huge fan of gluten free cookies. They are easy to grab and go, the serving size is easy to limit if needed, and there is such a huge variety to choose from.
There is something for everyone!
Are Oatmeal Spice Cookies Gluten Free?
These gluten free oatmeal spice cookies definitely are.
It is not a secret, however, that oats are notorious for cross-contamination. Always check your labels on oats and oat flour to make sure that it is gluten free and was not made in a facility with other gluten products.
How To Make Homemade Oat Flour
You can save a lot of money by making your own oat flour.
You can use quick oats or rolled oats, add them to a blender or food processor and blend until you have a fine flour.
If you want to, you can also buy oat flour (I will admit that I do that often). I make sure that it is gluten free, of course!
How to Make Gluten Free Oatmeal Spice Cookies
Let’s get that oven hot, shall we? Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add butter and sweetener to a large bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Vanilla and egg and continue mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk flours with spices, salt, and baking powder.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and continue mixing.
On two pieces of parchment paper, place equal amounts of cookie dough and roll the dough up in the parchment in a 10” log (it will be about 1.5” wide).
Chill for 2 hours or until hard.
Now, don’t worry about it looking pretty. AND do not worry if you don’t get a perfect log. Your cookies will look beautiful either way.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Pull the cookie dough logs out of the fridge and slice into 1/4 inch circles. Place dough on cookie sheets with 1.5” between each disc. Notice how mine aren’t perfect circles – yet the cookies all turned out lovely.
Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes.
Allow the cookies to rest on the pan for several minutes before transferring to wire racks to completely cool.
