These remind me of the Girl Scout peanut butter sandwich cookies--they're wonderful and "healthy" too with the oat flour! This recipe comes from an old Quaker Oats recipe booklet that I've had for over 15 years.

we are a gluten free family, and this is one of the best cookie recipes we have had! My cookies came out a little soft, so perhaps needed a few more minutes in the oven. Loved by the children and adults in our family alike!

I saw this recipe on www.quakeroats.com website this morning. Thank you for posting and saving me the time! :-) YUMMY! Here are some notes/tips from the website: To make ground oat flour, place uncooked oats in blender or food processor. Cover and blend about 1 minute. Stop blender occasionally to stir oats. 1-1/4 cups oats will yield about 1 cup ground oats.
