My oldest sister yesterday asked all of us what we like or are thankful for about Osiyyah. She did a post about it here - http://gotdownsyndrome.blogspot.com/2010/10/31-for-21-other-kids.html.


    On the kitchen note, here is the recipe for today - Peanut butter cookies that are made with only oat flour. I haven't made these yet, but a friend made these some time back and I tried one and they were good. She just gave me the recipe, so here it is. It is from The Quaker Oat Wholegrain Cookbook.

Peanut Butter Dreams (Gluten-free)

1 cup butter or margarine

1 cup peanut butter

½ cup granulated sugar

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ¼ cups Ground Oat Flour

2 teaspoons soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped peanuts

Beat together butter, peanut butter and sugars; blend in eggs and vanilla. Add combined dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in nuts; chill dough about 1 hour. Shape to form 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten with fork dipped in sugar to form crisscross pattern. Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 F.) about 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Makes about 4 ½ dozen cookies.

VARIATION: Substitute vegetable shortening for butter; omit chilling dough.
