GF Oatmeal Cookies and Internet Lingo

So today I was reading online and stumbled across a website for Internet Slang and was shocked to see how far chatting online has come! When I went into my first chatroom 15 years ago I was overwhelmed by things like "LOL" and "BRB" and "TYVM". It all really threw me for a loop, but to find a while website devoted to the translation of over 8000 Intenet slang words. However, I have to say thanks to this newly evolved language, I now have a term for my latest GF experiment -- EPIC FAIL!!
LoL. There had to be one sooner or later. I made a potato bread. I HATED it. It was doughy, gummy, gritty and everything I do NOT want in a bread, but that's alright, I only made a small batch of buns, so I didn't waste a lot of ingredients and I'll just let them dry out, grind them up and put them in the freezer for breadcrumbs. (See, a use for everything!!) So, having thrown out that recipe I decided to go with something I knew would be a success. Cookies. There is nothing quite like a good cookie recipe that you can switch up as you choose. So I went with a nice chewy Oatmeal Cookie. That way I can switch up what I put in it for flavor and I don't feel like I"m giving my kids something that's totally unhealthy.

GF Oatmeal Cookie

3/4 Cup Butter
1 Cup Sugar
1 Lg. Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
3/4 Cup Sorghum Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
3 Cups Rolled Oats
1 Cup [insert favorite ingredient here]
Fleur de Sel*

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Beat butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. In a seperate bowl mix together all dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients one cup at a time. Mix well. Add final ingredient -- craisins, raisins, nuts, dried fruit, diced apple, etc. Whatever appeals to you.

Using a 1/8 C measure (or an ice cream scoop) to set cookies on a cookie sheet lined with either parchment or a Silimat**, wet your hand and lightly flatten each cookie to about 1/4". Sprinkle each cookie lightly with Fleur de Sel. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.

*Sprinkling a little Fleur de Sel on a cookie adds a level of sophistocation to every bite. The sweetness of the cookie, offset by the salty crunch of the Fleur de Sel is a wonderful marriage of flavor. It makes a cookie, while still acceptable for children, just a little more grown up.

**When I got married I finally got my first Silimat and I LOVE it. I don't know where i got it or what brand it really is.. I just know I have a silicone mat for my cookie sheets and I love the convenience. I love that I can throw it in the dishwasher and it's always ready to go. If you don't have a Silicone mat then parchment will work just as well.

Enjoy!!
