Janah's Oatmeal Cookies With a G.F. Spin

When I was visiting my youngest grandchildren in April, I wanted to make some cookies with my two-year-old granddaughter. It's  just been one of those things I like to do with each of them. I feel that besides getting help making fantastic foods together, cooking bonds the generations.

 Her mother plopped her onto the counter as you can see from this picture, and from there she helped dump flour, oatmeal, chocolate chips and raisins. She liked collecting her own assortment of chocolate chips and raisins to munch on while we worked! This recipe is a family one, and I don't know where it originated, but it is good!

Janah's Oatmeal Cookies

1.  Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl stir together: 
(1)  1/2 cup of white rice flour, 1/4 cup sorghum flour, and 1/4 cup of tapioca flour
(2)  Add leavening & spices:   1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

2.  In a small bowl put 1 cup of quick oats and 2 tablespoons of milk, stir and let sit for 10 minutes.

3.  Cream butter & sugar:
(1)  In a mixing bowl put 3/4 cup of butter and cream with 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/3 cup of white sugar.
(2)  Then add 1 egg and 1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

4.  Add the oats slowly to the bowl of creamed butter.

5.  Then slowly add the dry ingredients stirring to combine.

6.  Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, raisings, and chopped walnuts.

7.  Drop by rounded teaspoons and bake for 350 for 10 minutes.  Check at 7 minutes.
