Author Notes
One of my great social media friends is a wonderful gluten free chef in Australia, Kathryn Crocker of glutenfreelunchboxes.com. She is always producing amazing goodies for her kids to eat and runs a top-notch website. Sadly, I am too far away to partake in her baked deliciousness.
I wanted to create something that sparkles like she does. These definitely sparkle outside and in. I hope you approve Kathryn. You set a high-bar. —Janet Rörschåch

1 cup
gluten free rolled oats
-
1 cup
organic peanut butter, chunky or smooth; whatever your fancy
-
½ cups
white sugar
-
½ cups
packed dark brown sugar
-
2
whole eggs (I am at altitude. You may find you only need to use 1.)
-
1 teaspoon
real vanilla extract
-
½ cups
chocolate chips
-
½ cups
dried cherries

½ cups
roasted and salted peanuts
Directions
-
Day One:
-
In bowl, combine baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, combine peanut butter and sugars and whip with electric beaters until creamy.
-
Add one egg at a time and beat in thoroughly. Then add vanilla.
-
Stir in oatmeal mix, chocolate chips, cherries, and peanuts until combined.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow flavors to develop.
-
Day 2:
-
Set oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Set up sheet pan with parchment or silpat mat.
-
Wet hands with cool water.
-
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, form dough in to a ball. Use wet hands to shape dough into disk shape and place disk on to parchment.
-
Bake for 8 to 15 minutes depending on your oven's efficiency. You are looking for GBD (golden brown deliciousness).
-
I only make enough cookies for my fika, one or two, and save rest of dough in fridge for another day. Use dough up within five days.
