Oh these cookies! They come together super fast and give you that cookie fix you need without making thousands and leaving you feeling guilty. They are hearty, naturally gluten free (no weird flours), and so, so good warm with a glass of milk. They are another go-to when I need a quick dessert. I will also admit that I love this cookie dough and may or may not consume a few cookies worth that way. 😊 We put chocolate chips in them because my family thinks a raisin starring in a cookie is evil, and I might have to agree. Especially if you are tricked and eat a cookie thinking it has chocolate chips and it turns out to be raisins. 😲 We love them with butterscotch chips too!

Step-by-step tutorial:
Gather your ingredients. You need a stick of butter, brown sugar, sugar, an egg, vanilla, oats, oat flour (or more oats you will grind), salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup brown and white sugars.
Mix in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Add the 1 cup oats and 1 1/2 cups oat flour.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips. This dough is so yummy.... I love raw oatmeal cookie dough.
Place cookie dough balls (about 2 tablespoons) on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then cool for a few minutes on the pan.
Move to a wire rack to cool completely but be sure to eat a few warm.
You'll love the hint of cinnamon in these as well as the awesome texture of these cookies!
So amazing warm out of the oven with a glass of milk!
