Soft and chewy, gluten-free oatmeal raisin cookies taste just like Grandma’s! Be sure to make extra of these healthy cookies for the cookie jar.

These gluten-free oatmeal raisin cookies would make grandma proud! These simple cookies, made from scratch, are chewy and moist. Nutmeg adds just the right amount of spice to these cookies. I like to use golden raisins in my baking recipes, including this one. They have a sweeter taste.

Your kids will love them packed in their school lunches. (Click here for some great gluten-free school lunch ideas.) Serve these yummy cookies with a tall glass of cold milk for a healthy after school snack!
