Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

This timeless recipe is always a fan favorite. Great for taking to a friend, a gathering, or just having on hand for visitors. In order for more people to enjoy them, make sure you choose specifically gluten free oats, because not all oats are gluten friendly. It is possible for oats (naturally gluten free) to have been cross contaminated through farming.

• 1 stick of butter

• 1/2 cup of milk

• A dash of vanilla

• 1 spoonful of peanut butter

• 2-3 cups of oats

*Note: The GF oats at your local store may have to be baked before adding to the cookies.

1. Melt your butter.  In the pot of course. 

2. Add the sugar, cocoa, and milk, then bring to a rapid boil.  Let it boil for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

6. Let cool. 

I've had so much fun with this recipe because I don't have to measure everything perfect.  So if you're coming to the end of this entry and asking why you wasted time on a recipe you already knew, take away that not all oats are GF.  Let's keep our friends with Celiac tummy ache free!
