Gluten Free Cookie Cake

Gluten Free Cookie Cake: A gluten-free version of a cookie cake that tastes so good no one will know it is gluten-free. 

It really wasn’t until recent years that I heard about a cookie cake.

I heard people mention them several times, but I just nodded and smiles, stumped because I had never seen one–yes, clearly I live in a hole. 

But seriously, what a GENIUS idea.

Especially for this gal who is really not much of a cake person.

Brownies? Yes. Ice cream? Yes. Cookies? Yes.

Cake? Not so much. Cookie Cake? Well, yes please.

I mean what is better than a giant chocolate chip cookie with icing? Because just so you know, it is the cake part I typically don’t like, the icing I have no issue with. 

So enter a cookie cake. But not just any cookie cake, a gluten-free cookie cake. But not a gluten-free dessert that uses all sorts of fancy flours–one that is made with simple ingredients and tastes AMAZING!!!

Gluten Free Cookie Cake

Why did I make this Cookie Cake gluten-free?

Well, years ago, my son and I were both gluten-free. And we went to many parties over that time that there were no dessert options for us. Not very fun for a 4-year-old boy or his mom’s sweet tooth!! 

So ever since that time, I always want to have gluten-free options for friends or company if needed–without having to buy special flours or mixes.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could always have an easy, tasty go-to gluten-free recipe for yourself or your gluten-free friends? I can promise you, it goes a long to way when you accommodate allergies–especially when there are children involved. I sure think so. And I think this needs to be your go to recipe.

Tips on this Homemade Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

• Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. Quick cooking oats or regular old fashioned oats both work well to be blended into oat flour. Check out all my Oats Recipes for many recipes using oats of all varieties. 
• The oats are to be measured BEFORE blending in this recipe for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie Cake.
• If you don’t like peanut butter or have an allergy, feel free to sub it out for almond butter.
