I wanted to try a new recipe, a healthier one. I’ve been baking a lot and the only healthy version is I just use half of the sugar that all of the recipes call for. I tried to follow this recipe here. I’m actually really bad at following recipes.

½ Teaspoon of baking soda
½ Teaspoon of ground Cinnamon
¼ Teaspoon of salt
½ Cup of unsalted butter softened. That should be a whole stick if you use the

1 Large egg
1 ½ Cups of gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
½ Cup of chocolate chips.

My sister's family is all gluten free and I've been wanting to start slowly going in that direction. These cookies are the perfect for me to try! Thanks for sharing!
