Flourless Carmel Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• 1½ cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking). Use organic oats if you need to guarantee that they are completely gluten-free.
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cups dark brown sugar, firmly packed
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• ½ cup chocolate chips(optional)
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg

Directions:

1. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix gently by hand or at lowest speed of an electric mixer.
2. Mound the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 20 minutes. (don’t skip this step)
3. Preheat oven to 350* F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or silpats.
4. Form the chilled dough into 1″ balls and place on baking sheets. The cookies won’t rise, but will spread out slightly.
5. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the degrees are browned and the tops of the cookie are medium golden.
6. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet, (about 10 minutes) before removing using a spatula. The cookies should peel off the parchment easily.
