The first time I made these my son immediately asked if he could bring them in to school to share for his birthday. The original recipe was really fragile and I had visions of delivering a container full of crumbs and suggesting the teacher give everyone a spoon. I played with the recipe until they had the same flavor profile but held together better. While I was experimenting I tried substituting rice flour for the wheat flour to make them gluten free so my sons gluten free classmate could also enjoy them. The only problem I had when I made these was sending almost all of them away. - Hippo Flambe —Hippo Flambe
Need to make a scrumptious, foolproof gluten-free treat, but hesitant because gluten-free baking seems so darn tricky? Problem solved! These little gems come together in a snap, bake up just like they are supposed to, and taste like, well, the best old-fashioned oatmeal cookie you’ve ever eaten. We like that you can actually taste the oats, because they’ve not been smothered with excessive extract flavors and spices. And “Lace” aptly describes the light texture of these cookies, thanks in part to the relatively small amount of flour. Hats off to Hippo Flambe for this terrific recipe!! - AntoniaJames —AntoniaJames
