Gluten-Free, Old School, No Bake Nut Butter and Oat Cookies

Makes two dozen drop cookies


Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
1/3 cup nut butter (I used peanut butter in these)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup crushed walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions:

  1. Put oats, nut butter, cinnamon and walnuts in a heat resistant medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Put butter, milk and sugar into a small saucepan. Melt together over medium-high heat while stirring frequently to avoid burning the sugar. Once the ingredients are all melted, bring to a boil and allow to boil for one minute.
  3. Pour the boiling liquids over the oat mixture.
  4. Add the vanilla extract.
  5. Stir very well. Make sure all of the oats, etc have been coated evenly.
  6. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow to cool slightly.
  7. Drop by the tablespoon on to parchment paper and allow to cool completely. The cookies will dry and set within 30 minutes or so, depending on your house temperature.
  8. Store in an airtight container, or eat off the counter with reckless abandon for your dental health.

Happy cookie eating!
