Small Batch One Bowl Oatmeal Cookies {Gluten Free}

Let's be honest, when you find yourself in a situation where you need to make gluten free cookies, you usually don't need to make five dozen. Whether it's for you or for your poor, pitiable celiac friend.

Of course, sometimes, in the case that you are the celiac in question (which happens to be my case), there are also those desperate times when you do, in fact, need to make five dozen all for yourself, but that recipe will be for another day.

These lovely, chocolate oozing beauties that you see before you are the easiest gluten free cookies you will ever make. I mixed them, baked them, photographed them, and ate them (not all, really!) before the big boy woke up from his morning nap. 

The only bad thing about this recipe making only a dozen is that I sometimes like to have a bag of them in the freezer for emergencies, and with only a dozen, you may not have enough left before they even reach the cooling rack. But, if you do have such self control, I do enjoy eating them right out of the freezer. If you are feeling extra ambitious, you could even sandwich some ice cream between them before you shut the freezer door, but that is up to you.
