Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe (gluten-free)

Tonight, after two days of shoveling snow, I decided to reward myself with a small batch of cookies.  Of course, I didn’t want to blow my whole diet or eat something terribly unhealthy, so I tossed together this easy gluten-free cookie recipe.  It ended out making 10 cookies, using a 2 tbs size scoop.  With all the chewy oatmeal in them, along with protein from the peanut butter & egg, I was quite satisfied with two.  I even got my chocolate fix to boot.

I tried to keep these pretty simple.  I didn’t add any flour or butter, peanut butter would handle their jobs.  The egg would help hold them together, add moisture and some sheen.  A little salt & vanilla for taste & chocolate…well, because I want chocolate.
