    I have to be honest with you. These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. EVER. I love a thin, crispy yet perfectly chewy cookie and these are that friends.

    They have the best buttery sugary flavor, yet there is not butter so they are completely dairy free cookies!

    To be honest I was blown away when I taste tested them. I had ZERO idea they would be so amazing.

    What is best about these cookies is you can change up the flavor by choosing any gluten free granola you want! That means you can have the best cookies in all the flavors you choose!

    Ingredients and substitutions for gluten free granola cookies

    Alrighty folks, let's get to what you need to make these cookies!

    You will need the following:

    • gluten free granola
    • sugar- regular and brown
    • olive oil
    • vanilla
    • egg
    • gluten free flour ( a 1-1 flour) I used King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure
    • baking soda, salt, baking powder

    Substitutions:

    Granola- You can sub in any crunchy granola your heart desires! If there are a lot of chunky pieces just be sure to slightly crush it!

    Flour- I do not recommend subbing the flour for another type, but if you give it a try and have success be sure to check back in and let us all know!

    Sugar- if you decide to change the sugar in any way the texture and color of the cookie will be different. Just an FYI. I have not tested different sugars in this recipe.

    Olive oil- be sure to use a light tasting olive oil if you use it, otherwise you can sub in whatever oil you have hand or butter.

    Expert Tips and how to store

    As far as storing, the baked cookies freeze great! They are tad less crispy after they thaw out but still amazingly chewy and delicious.

    If you want to make ahead I would encourage you to bake them as described, let them cool and then stick them in the freezer until you need them.

    Otherwise just store these beauties in an air tight container at room temperature!

    Expert tips

    • I always recommend using parchment paper for the best baking experience. Seriously if you aren't on the parchment paper train you need to hop on.
    • If your granola is chunky you will need to crush so it is small individual pieces instead of clusters.
    • If you would like, you could awlays add more granola on top after it has baked, just top with granola and press down lightly. The cookies shown, do not have any additional on top.

    Let's bake some of the best cookies in the world.

    Description

    These chewy yet crispy gluten free granola cookies are out of this world. The best sweet buttery taste and amazing flavors of granola in a gluten free dairy free cookie!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups of gluten free granola, slightly crushed if in clusters
    • ½ cup of gluten free 1-1 flour 
    • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
    • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup of light tasting olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 large egg, whisked

    Instructions

    1. Pre heat your oven to 350°F and prepare 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl add your dry ingredients - granola, flour, sugars, baking soda and powder, salt. 
    3. Whisk until well combined and incorporated evenly.
    4. Add your wet ingredients into the bowl- whisked egg, oil, vanilla
    5. Stir with a large mixing spoon until just combined.
    6. Place by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Place cookies 2 inches apart as they will spread. You will need to use two cookie sheets and bake at separate times.
    7. Bake for about 8 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are golden and centers are still a little soft. 
    8. Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes, and then use a spatula to gently move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool the remainder of the way. 

    Notes

    • I do not recommend baking both trays at once. 
    • Start watching your cookies at the 7 minute mark as all ovens are different. 
    • Do not over bake, the centers should still be soft when you remove them, they will continue to bake and set as they cool.
    • Be sure to use a light tasting olive oil, not extra virgin

      I used Quinoa flour instead of gluten free 1-1 flour and rh cookies turned out well.
