Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies Recipe, Tommy and Smokey

Happy last day of June, everyone! It looks like we're going to have rain and thunderstorms until sometime Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing sun again!

As requested, I'm posting the recipe for the oatmeal, coconut, and walnut cookies in the photo above, which some of you saw on Instagram. They're gluten-free and delicious.

Gluten Free Recipe, Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

This recipe makes about 3 1/2 dozen large cookies.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream:

1 c. soft butter

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. white sugar  (Instead, I used about half the amount of sugar called for)

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla

Slowly mix in the following ingredients which have been measured and stirred in a separate bowl first:

2 c. Gluten Free flour (I use Bob's Red Mill One-to-One)

2 c. Gluten Free oatmeal (again, Bob's Red Mill)

2 c. Coconut

2 t. Baking Powder

1 t. Baking soda

1 t. Salt

Lastly, stir in 1 c. chopped walnuts.

Drop by shooter marble size balls onto greased jellyroll pans.

Bake 12-13 minutes until they are set and not wet, but don't let them get too golden.

I always smack the pan on the top of the cookstove to flatten out the cookies a little faster and I let them cool on the pan (finish baking) before removing from pan.

 Perfect for coffee and cookies on the front porch!

 Afternoon coffee and scones with Mr. C.

and join in!

1. What's the last thing you did that someone else thought was super? 

My memory doesn't go back that far.

2. The last thing you ate that tasted superb? 

The scones, pictured in the opening photo. I did buy some really nice lemons and am thinking about making lemon bars. I'll post my gluten-free recipe if I make them. It's not like I need a lemon bar, but the days are getting longer and somehow that triggers a lemon craving.

3. Supersensitive, superstitious, superwoman, superambitious, supercilious, supervisor, superficial...pick a super word from the list and tell us how it relates to your life in some way recently or currently. 

 Brought to you by the letter O

Superambitious (while my energy lasts), because I've been bitten by the downsizing, cleaning, pitching, and organizing bug. The Complete Book of Home Organization by Toni Hammersley is what started it. The book is full of beautifully organized photos, well-organized chapters, and great tips on organization, including storage containers for organization, and is laid out in a very organized format to help organize your brain and get one in the organizational mood. I'm hoping I don't run out of steam before I'm finished organizing.

I would post AFTER photos of all the areas I've tackled, but I'm pretty sure that most of you would insist that they are the BEFORE photos...

4. Do you love easily? If you're comfortable doing so, explain why you think that is.

You betcha.

Wouldn't you?

5. Valentine's Day lands on a Tuesday this year. Will you mark the day in some way? If you're celebrating with a dinner out somewhere will it be on Tuesday or will you celebrate over the weekend? 

I will mark a few days beforehand on the calendar so that I don't forget to send the grandkids their Valentines. And we have some things going on, but not Valentines related.

6. What's something you are loving right now?

 Time with Mr. C.

A cold winter's day walk - 
And I have earmuffs on too!

Plus fleece Cuddl Duds (long-johns and shirt)

Plus jeans and sweater

Plus insulated boots

Plus down-filled jacket

Plus thick fleece hat

Plus lined gloves

Plus heavy knit scarf

Mr. C. is wearing

jeans, shirt, hooded vest, jacket

gloves, shoes

I'm loving it that Mr. C. is around more (this is his slow season for work); that an Instagram friend gave me a code for the Emma Bridgewater mugs, which saved me a ton (otherwise, they're ridiculously expensive), also love it that Mr. C. and I are going to go to have a day out in Minneapolis soon, AND I love it that he and I actually got outdoors for a walk because the air temperature rose to a balmy 20 degrees F. I also love it that we are nearly finished with the book, The Day The Revolution Began by N.T. Wright. Life-changing. I keep wanting to call it 'The Day the Universe Changed.' 

7 Write a three word (or less) phrase you'd like to see on a Valentine candy heart.  

'I'm sugar-free'

8.  Insert your own random thought here. 

I don't have random thoughts anymore. My brain is a well-organized machine, incapable of thinking anything but rational, organized thoughts, contained in clear, plastic storage bins - labeled, of course. (See above)
