Ingredients you’ll need

• 1 cup gluten-free flour
• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• ½ cup butter, room temperature
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp chai mix (I used David Rio’s Red Panda Pumpkin Chai Mix)
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, rolled oats, and chai mix. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3. Combine: Gradually add the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well combined.
4. Scoop and Bake: Scoop 12 cookies onto a large baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then gently flatten the cookies with a spoon to create crisp edges. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden.
5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Perfect Pairings: Enjoy these oatmeal chai cookies with a cup of coffee or your favorite latte. If you’re feeling indulgent, try pairing them with a warm chai-spiced hot chocolate for the ultimate fall treat.
