Best Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies


When I discovered "Only Oats" had certified gluten-free oats , I was THRILLED!! The thought of being able to eat oats again was exciting... especially my old-time favorite - oatmeal cookies.
(see how to order Only Oats below)

Then to top it all off.. I found this 'normal' recipe for 'normal' people !! All ordinary ingredients found in anyone's kitchen !!

But the cookie is GLUTEN-FREE !!

I have to share it with you !!

(oh.... for those of you who haven't had to learn all this stuff about gluten.... oats is a grain that is gluten-free but the problem is that farmers always rotate crops between wheat and oats which causes cross contamination because some wheat will always come up with the oats and be harvested together - so until Only Oats came to our rescue... oats was on the Celiac forbidden list!)

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies


Ingredients

  • one egg
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups oat flakes (Only Oats - gluten-free)

Put all ingredients into the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer and beat until well mixed.

(You may hand mix in 1/2 cup of your own preference of chocolate chips, M&M's, or nuts)

Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet and bake at 375' for 15 minutes. Let set for a couple of minutes before removing from pan.
