Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

So these only have 5 ingredients which is very cool. Also they are gluten-free, so if you have people in your circle of friends that require that, this is a good recipe. Still not wicked healthy, since ya know, peanut butter and brown sugar, but they are gluten-free so that's something...from the latest Simple & Delicious.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (I do NOT like chunky so I used creamy)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups quick oats
1/2 tsp baking soda

In a small bowl, cream peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg. Add oats and baking soda to creamed mixture; mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets; flatten slightly. Bake @ 350 for 6-8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. 2 dozen.

Okay you have to flatten these to the size you want the cookies to be. They didn't spread or rise at all really. Also I only got 15 cookies out of this recipe, so you would have to double it if you wanted more than a few. Okay so these were good, but not as good as flour-based peanut butter cookies. But I'm still keeping the recipe because it's good to have recipes to accomodate people with different food allergies. For like making them meals and stuff. Nathan doesn't usually like any cookies unless they are chocolate chip, but he helped me make these from start to finish, and he ate a few too. All the kids were convinced that they hated oatmeal when Steve tried to give it to them for supper the other night. So this was a good recipe in convincing them that they do not hate oatmeal. A spoonful of peanut butter helps the medicine go down.
