Overall these are a pretty tasty cookie. I just had one that had cooled but was still soft and tender. I followed the recipe as closely as I could considering I didn't have more than 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal to work with.. whoops! So in my normal way of finding the closest thing that will substitute, I used cereal. This made the cookies non-wheat-free, but that's all right for me. I used Kelloggs All-Bran Strawberry Medley. There are no strawberry chunks in the cookies as I ate them :) I like the barley flour because it gives the cookies a nice flavour that is different from all other oatmeal cookies that use wheat flour. Yum!

My kids love these. I am not a fan of raisins so I left them out of mine. But even my non raisin eaters ate the raisin cookies. We used toasted sweetened coconut. We also used a cookie scoop, then flattened out the dough a little. The flatter, the more crispy they were. They spread more than I thought they would. These have a great crispy chewy texture, great mouth appeal. Great flavor! I will be making these again. We also doubled the recipe. As for Celiacs, OATS are not considered an approved food, so no, a celiac would not be able to eat this. BUT people with wheat sensitivities would be able to.

I am a stay-at-home-mom, or rather, drive-around-in-the-minivan mom to DS7, DD6, DD5 and DS1. DH is lactose intolerant so I have learned to work around that in my recipes. I started baking cookies and such when I was about 9, and cooking daily suppers when I was 13 so I have been in the kitchen for a good percentage of my life already. It's a good thing that it's my favourite place to be!
My favourite appliance is a rice cooker, with the Kitchenaid mixer running a close second. DH bought a Traeger wood pellet barbecue for Mother's Day a few years ago and it is amazing.
I almost always wear an apron in the kitchen because I'm a sloppy cook and stained too many shirts. My favourite is from www.ashtongreen.com, a Canadian website that sells great kitchen stuff.
