12.27.11 - Secret Family Recipe (reborn)

YUM!

I have written in the past about my our secret family recipe for Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and how they have been part of an important tradition in my family for generations.

This has been a different year for our family though in that several members of our extended family have had to go gluten free in their diet, a requirement that would typically mean no more chocolate chip oatmeal cookies - at least the secret family recipe version.  Leave it to my mom though, always the great cook and explorer in the kitchen, to recreate the secret family recipe in gluten free fashion.

These were almost if not as good as the real thing!  Big shout out to my mom for keeping the family tradition alive, even in the face of a huge obstacle.  I just wish I would have packed some of these for the plane ride home to Indiana!
