Ingredients

  • 3 cups gluten free quick oats
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • cup milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped

Instructions

  • Line large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place the oats and cocoa powder, and toss to combine. Set the bowl aside.
  • In a medium-size, heavy-bottom saucepan, place the butter, sugar, milk, and salt. Whisking frequently, bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  • The mixture will bubble quite a lot. Just continue to whisk. Allow the mixture to boil for a full 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the chopped chocolate and mix until the chocolate is melted, and the mixture is smooth.
  • Create a well in the center of the oats in the large bowl and pour in the sugar mixture. Mix to combine well.
  • The mixture will be thick but soft. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to begin to firm up.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop the cookie dough in 2 tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1-inch apart from one another. Spread each gently into an approximately 2-inch round.
  • Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. After about 30 minutes, you should be able to peel them off the parchment paper.
  • Store the finished cookies in a sealed glass container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
