This is a great recipe idea for oatmeal cookies to prepare gluten-free cookies in a few minutes with only 3 main ingredients. Moreover, you won’t need whole wheat flour, purpose flour, wheat flour baking powder, oat flour, or even flour baking powder. This recipe is made with only quick-cooking oats to make the cookie dough. Furthermore, you have two options for making them; for example, you can use the whole oats or blend them in a food processor and get fine oat flour.

Additionally, these healthy oatmeal cookies are great to take on a lunch box for work or school, just store them in an airtight container and enjoy them as a filling and delicious snack.
