I absolutely LOVE to bake (and eat) cookies. Of course, since I went gluten-free, I haven’t been doing as much baking…and I really miss it! So I decided to make a batch of gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to fill that craving. But without leaving my tummy in bad shape!
I went to my recipe box and pulled out a conventional recipe that I’ve had for around 20 years. But I had to do a big, real food, gluten-free makeover, or I would get pretty sick! These turned out really well, and they were even better the next day!
I use the Enjoy Life brand of chocolate chips because they are soy-free, and they taste good, too! They work very well in this recipe. Don’t like chocolate chips? You can substitute raisins or other dried fruit of your choice. Just make sure that no sugar has been added to the fruit! Or leave it out altogether and just eat them plain! They are still very yummy…
