- Add the ingredients into the mason jar one at a time to layer the ingredients in this order: gluten free flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt, chocolate chips, gluten free oats, and shredded coconut.
Write out these directions on an index card so the person you give the gift to knows how to make the cookies:

Notes
- This cookie recipe makes 24 Cowboy Cookies.
- I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
- If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 3/4 teaspoon.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter. Use a dairy free chocolate chip.
- It is critical to use certified gluten free oats if you are Celiac. Cross-contamination runs high in regular oats.
- These cookies will keep up to 4 days in an airtight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
SPECIAL NOTE
Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
