Grandma's Oatmeal Cookies

Recently I started exploring how to make all my Grandma's cookie recipes GF.  This is one of the ones that turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.  And low and behold I really didn't need to go out and buy special GF items.  These are all things folks with Celiac normally have.  I get very discouraged when I want to make baked goods recently and the ingredients list is super long and unpronounceable!  I need for things to be super simple as I ease into this whole Celiac thing.

So although we have been pretty GF as a family for years it is very different when it is a choice vs. a medically required lifestyle change.

These are super yummy cookies for tea or just a nibble!

1/2 c plus 6 TBS Softened butter

3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 c sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 c brown rice flower

3 c GF Oats

1 TSP vanilla

1 TSP baking Soda 

1 TSP Cinnamon

1/2 TSP salt

1 c cranberries

1/2 c walnuts or whatever nut you fancy

Method:

Preheat oven 350

Cream in this order butter and sugars, vanilla, eggs together in bowl.  In a separate bowl mix dried items in this order, flour, oats, BS, salt, cinnamon.  Incorporate the dry with wet 1/4 c at a time.  Add the cranberries and nuts in at the end folding in softly.

Drop by rounded TBS on cookie sheet baking for 8-10 minutes.  Be sure to let cool before removing from cookie sheet.   

Makes about 4 DZ based on cookie sizes.
