These perfect chocolate chunk cookies are just like your favorite Chick-Fil-A treat. Chewy cookies with crispy edges, filled with oats, milk chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten free flour, gluten free oats, baking soda and salt. Stir well and set aside.
2 ⅓ Cup Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour Blend, 1 Cup Gluten Free Oats, 1 teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 teaspoon Salt
Add the shortening, vegan butter and dark brown sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until fluffy and lighter in color. Scrape down the bowl.
½ Cup Shortening, 7 Tablespoons Vegan Butter, 1 ⅓ Cup Dark Brown Sugar
Add the corn syrup and beat for 1 minute more.
1 Tablespoon Light Corn Syrup
Add the egg, water and vanilla. Beat again for 1 minute more.
1 Egg, 1 Tablespoon Water, 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla
Turn the mixer to the lowest speed. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. It's okay if there is still some flour visible.
Add the dark chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips. Pulse the mixer a few times to make sure the chocolate is evenly distributed.
1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chunks, 1 Cup Vegan Milk Chocolate Chips
Portion the dough into ¼ cupfuls (or use a large ice cream scoop). Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 3 inches apart. Flatten the dough balls slightly, so they resemble hockey pucks.
Bake for 12-13 minutes until the edges are just set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Tip: For picture perfect cookies place a few extra chocolate chips & chunks on top of the cookie balls right before baking.Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days.Reheat: For that fresh from the oven taste, reheat each cookie in the microwave for 20 seconds or heat on a cookie sheet in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes.
