[Gluten-Free Nutella Oat Cookies.]

Um.  These were a mistake ... I should never had made them.  But now I officially have a NEW cookie favourite in the house.  The boys haven't stopped asking for "just one more" since I pulled the last batch out of the oven.

They're crispy on the outside and yummy-chocolatey-chewy on the inside ... mmmm.  I adapted this recipe from one online that called for peanut-butter.  These are "peanut-free" - but not "nut-free".  

And yup.  THIS one is my own IPhone pic of them ... 

Gluten-Free Nutella Oat Cookies (makes about 4dozen)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1tsp vanilla

1+1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup Nutella

3 cups rolled oats (gluten-free)

2 cups chopped white chocolate (or chocolate chips)

Directions:

- preheat oven to 350F

- cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy.

- add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.  mix.

- add Nutella, mix.

- add the oats and chocolate chunks, mix until combined.

- bake 12-15minutes, remove and let cool slightly before removing and letting cool on the racks.  Don't peek, or they'll crack with the cool air - pull them out when they're bubbling on the inside ...
