Chocolate Chip/Oatmeal Cookies

Well it's been awhile since I have made up a recipe of my own, partly because the ingredients are pricey, and I am now expecting a baby! Kinda cuts down on the amount of time you feel like spending, creating recipes! But tonight, I just really had a chocolate sweet tooth, and being pregnant, I am trying even more to stay off of sugar....not always successful, but stuff like this, helps! :) Plus, I have been cooped up in a snowy winter land, all day, and I do believe I'm going crazy! The dough by itself, was quite divine!! You don't have to use Hodgson Mills flour, that's just what I had on hand, any flour mix will work!


Cookies
1 1/2 sticks softened butter
3/8 cup Stevia (in sugar form)
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup gluten free flour mix (Hodgson Mills)
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips

Cream together the butter and stevia, add vanilla and eggs, mix thoroughly. Mix together all dry ingredients, and mix with butter and egg mixture. Spoon onto a greased or parchment covered pan, bake at 325 for 7-10 minutes, keep an eye on them! I have to admit, I am 100% impressed with how well these turned out, and how much like a normal cookie they look!! You could add nuts if you want, I didn't have any on hand, so mine don't have that. I didn't have any sugar free chocolate chips, so I used normal ones, but I know you can get them...dairy free too! They are a little crumbly, as with any gluten free baked good, but they have a delightful cooked flavor also! :) hope you enjoy them!
