Grandma Gusky's Chewy Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten Free)

Submitted by Sarah P.

"This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. It was her mother's recipe. I converted it to be gluten free. If you don't need it to be gluten free, simply substitute the rice flour, starch and protein powder for 1 1/4 cups unbleached flour. Also, omit the xanthan gum."
