I have been making these gluten free oatmeal cookies for years now and they are a staple in our house. My kids love them and I feel good about giving them a treat that is also packed with fiber from the oats. This recipe is perfect for after school snacks or for packing in lunchboxes. It is also a great option if you have friends or family with gluten sensitivities because no one can tell the difference. The texture is soft and chewy and they come out perfectly every time. I use certified gluten free oats to make sure they are safe for everyone. These cookies are not just delicious they also provide sustained energy from the oats making them a smarter choice than a lot of store bought cookies.
