How to Make Oatmeal Cookies Without Flour
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Grind the oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it resembles coarse flour. You can use long-cooked oatmeal or instant oats.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and mix well.
5. Add some of the ground oats and the leavening agent and mix well.
6. Add the rest of the oats and any optional ingredients and mix well. The dough should be fairly thick and sticky.
7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for about 10 minutes.
8. Scoop out a small amount of dough with a spoon and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it slightly with your hand. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving some space between the cookies.
9. Bake the cookies for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden and firm on the edges.
10. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
