Gluten and Dairy free Oatmeal Cookies, Milk

Gluten and Dairy free Oatmeal Cookies with Milk by Randy Cockrell

February, for a lot of you, has been a cold, snowy misery. What better than warm from the oven cookies to make everything feel better. At my house we love oatmeal cookies. My mom sometimes eats them as breakfast. I mean, they’re oatmeal, right? Anyway, this recipe comes from the back of the oatmeal box so super easy to find. I made it both gluten and dairy free by making some substitutions. I also replaced the chocolate chips with raisins so that makes them even more like a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, am I right? Here we go.

Random Tuesday

Posted on by

Don’t you find that November and December are super busy?  I do.  Today was hiking day, our hiking club goes out every Tuesday morning, rain or shine.  That’s not usually a problem because we live in central Arizona and it hardly ever rains and snows even less.

Of course I’m in full swing on holiday preparations; indoor and outdoor decorations are up, Christmas cards have been made and mailed, cookies have been made and yesterday was the first cookie exchange of the season, at least for me.  It’s my custom to make some candy too.  As a celiac, I find it hard to purchase candy so every Christmas I make truffles, peppermint patties and peanut butter cups.  Yum!  I don’t get them any other time of the year so it’s pretty special to me.  The rest of the family thinks so too.  Our favorite cookie is the snowball, also known as the Mexican Wedding Cake or Russian teacake cookie.  What’s your favorite cookie?  Comment on the blog to share with us.

I love this time of year, and do my best to enjoy it no matter what part of the world I’m in or what’s going on around me.  I hope you do too.  So if I don’t get to say so later, every have a wonderful and safe holiday season.
