The best cookies ever, made gluten-free and low-FODMAP! My copycat ‘Doubletree Hotel’ chocolate chip cookies are packed with chocolate chips, with the added texture of walnuts and oats. You will make these for every occasion. IBS and gut-friendly.
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature*
6 & 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar*
6 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg, room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup and 2 tablespoons low-FODMAP, gluten-free flour*
1/4 cup (45g) old fashioned rolled oats*
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not added to your LF flour choice)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of cinnamon
3/4 cup (95g) finely chopped walnuts*
1 & 1/3 cups (230g) semisweet chocolate chips*
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment paper, or silicone liners
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and 2 sugars until smooth (about 3-4 minutes)
Add the egg, lemon juice and vanilla, then beat until light and fluffy
Add the LF, GF flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt and cinnamon to the bowl, and mix until just combined, scraping sides as needed
Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips
Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful or larger (I used a small cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets with about 1 & 1/2″ between cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes (longer for larger cookies), until they’re a light golden brown, with slightly darker edges, they can be soft in the middle as they will continue baking once removed
As soon as set, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling
Notes
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using available FODMAP data at time of posting)
I use Authentic Foods GF Classical Blend- see my bake off blog for reasons why!
Sugar is not high in FODMAPs, but is an IBS trigger for some people. Adjust to your tolerance.
Butter is naturally low in lactose and low in FODMAPs
Old-fashioned rolled oats are low FODMAP in 1/2 cup (52g) servings
Semisweet chocolate is low-FODMAP in 30g servings, with a maximum of 102g
Walnuts are low-FODMAP in 30g servings
You will have 25-50 cookies; depending on size
It is not necessary to chill the dough before baking. However, if you wanted to finish them later, you could wrap the dough and refrigerate for one week or freeze for one month
