Baillies Oat Meal Cookies

Bake@ 375 degrees
 
1c Butter (rBGH Free)
1c Sugar
1c B. Sugar
1 Dalup Molasses
1-2 Tbs Vanilla
2 Eggs (free range if possible) 

1/2c Tapioca Flour
1/2c Sorghum Flour
1/2c Oat flour
2 Tbs Cinnamon
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp B. powder
1 Pinch Salt
3c Oat Meal
1c Raisins or Choco-chips

Like I said I would,  I'm posting a really great cookie and it is gluten free. Remember, in all my recipes you can sub the different flours with regular unbleached flour... if you don't want them gluten free.

First things first. In your mixer add butter and sugar together and mix until whipped, add Molasses and mix in. Next add your eggs and Vanilla. Beat those in until your batter is really whipped. Next add your flours first fallowed by the salt, soda, and cinnamon. Mix, but DO NOT over beat or overly incorporate.  Now add your Oats and Raisins (or Choco-chip). Mix it all together, but again no beating.  Beating cookie batter can really wreck a good batch of cookies. Let your batter stand for about 5 min so your flours can soak up the moisture.
Remember, oat meal cookies need to be pulled out of the oven when the center of the cookie still looks raw, but the outer edge is getting crispy. Oat meal cookies continue to cook after you pull them because they hold a lot of heat. If you over cook they will be very crispy and not as good.
Let me know how it goes :)
