the very best oatmeal cookies crisp golden brown I used King Arthur's Gluten Free flour blend and followed Annes recipe right up adding raisins, I had to have raisins


cream butter with sugar

add eggs and vanilla


 mix until well blended


add flour, baking soda and salt, 
I lightly mix the baking soda and salt into the flour
no need to dirty another bowl


add oatmeal, nuts, and chocolate chips


and if your crazy like me add raisins


mix well


drop by well rounded tablespoon onto cookie sheet
bake 350 degrees 12-14 minutes


chilled dough (on right) will not spread as much as room temperature dough (on left) this comes down to how thin you like your cookies 
you can throw the whole bowl in the fridge for a couple hours 
or keep putting a tray of uncooked cookies in the freezer while one tray bakes

add a scoop of maple walnut icecream and your in heaven

Sprinkle with pepper.  
Layer with half of the onion, half of the ham and half of the cheese.
Repeat the layers of potato, onion, ham and cheese.  Finish with potato.
