Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten Free)

......

Wow, that was a mouthful!

These cookies just so happen to be gluten free since I decided to ground some of my oats to make oat flour. The flavor of the peanut butter is just there, and if you want a richer peanut butter flavor just take out as much butter as you would add in peanut butter.

Ingredients:
* 1 stick of butter at room temperature
* 1/4 cup of creamy or chunky peanut butter
* 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cup of oat flour (ground rolled oats)
* 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not grounded)
* 1 teaspoon of baking soda
* 1/4-1/3 cup of chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 370 degrees.
2. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until everything's incorporated.
3. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips).
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix with a spatula until fully combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Spoon out 1 tbsp of dough on to a baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7. Press your palms against the dough to flatten the cookie.
8. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

This recipe makes 24 cookies.

And this is why you should use parchment paper.

ENJOY!
