Hi Beauties!
I hope everyone is having an amazing December this far! I am just settling back into the old routine now that I am back from my river cruise with AmaWaterways! I always find it so hard getting back into my old routine after traveling. When your traveling your are just on another wave length. You spend your time differently, you eat differently, your mood is different and your outlook on the world is completely different. Anyone else feel this way?
As amazing as the trip was, I am happy to be back at home and getting ready for Christmas. I am so happy I got our Christmas decorations up before leaving. Now I can focus solely on my Christmas shopping and baking!
You are probably wondering why I am posting a boring cookie recipe around the time of Christmas where I should be posting a more festive baking recipe. Well let me tell you.. there is nothing better then adding some simple cookies to your cookie tin this season.
RELATED: THE SOFTEST GLUTEN FREE OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER!
Everyone loves good festive squares and cookies in your Christmas baking exchange but sometimes you get people who are super picky! And I find adding a normal cookie to your Christmas baking list will please a lot more people then you think! And I LOVE a good oatmeal cookie.
These Oatmeal Walnut Cookies are:
- chewy with crunchy walnuts
- transforms the typical lunch box chocolate chip cookie
- high nutritional value
- gluten free and melts in your mouth
Just a quick side note on baking gluten free.. Most oats on the market today are cross contaminated with wheat, barley, or rye so make sure you select a brand that is certified gluten free if you actually have an allergy to gluten. That labelling ensures that precautions were taken to avoid cross contamination!
