    I was thinking I was craving oatmeal cookies.... and clicking onto our cooking blog found your recipe.. The cookies are in my oven.. I just substituted the flour for a mix of brown rice flour and sweet rice flour and I had an easy gluten-free recipe! Thank you, Betty! If the cookies are healthy we can have more than one, right???
