Oatmeal Cookies- Gluten Free and Refined Sugar Free!

So, after over a week of sugar free, I finally broke down and made sugar free cookies last night.  My husband Dan and I were watching a movie, both had the munchies and wanted a little something.  We had no ice cream (not that I could have had any), or anything else really that sounded good.  So, I made some cookies! 

Sugar Free Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies!  Yum!

These were super easy to make!  I had a couple recipes from a friend to try out- including Oatmeal Cookies.  These were great!  I made a couple changes to the recipe, depending on what I had at home.  Hope you like them too!

Oatmeal Cookies- Gluten Free, Sugar Free
Yield: about 15 cookies

1/3 c. + 1 T butter or shortening (I used tub butter)
1/3 c. + 1 T honey
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. gluten free flour (I used a mix of rice, tapioca, and cornstarch)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. baking soda
dash of cloves
1/2 t. xanthan gum
1/2 c. raisins
1 1/2 c. gluten free quick oats

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease your cookie sheet.

Mix together butter and honey, until well blended.  Add egg and vanilla: mix until everything is binding together.

Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves.  Carefully mix until blended.  Fold in oats and raisins.  Mix until just combined.

Drop by large tablespoon full onto the greased cookie sheet.  I got about 15 cookies out of this recipe. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove immediately onto a cooling rack.

These were fabulous warm!  And the next day.  Got a little crumbly, but still super yummy!

Next time I make them, I want to do add in chocolate chips and craisins, but I know those usually have added sugars, so I will be careful what I add.  Also, the original recipe had a little molasses, and I definitely want to try that too!  I was just out last night.
