Chocolate + Oats + Chocolate = Cookies.

Oh my gosh! The first time I had these cookies was at graduation party for Parker's friend, Cassidy.  Ahhhh!  Her mom made them and can I tell you how great they were?! And because there's no flour in them, Hunter could eat them too.  So, GF and yummy.  Passes my test every time. And I promise, no one will know they are GF. Bonus and double bonus!  Experiment with the chocolate: just chocolate chips, just m&m's or both.  My personal favorite?  Chopped chocolate. But, that requires bars of chocolate from my sister in Holland ... hint, hint!  So many possibilities.  And yes, you could add raisins.  But never nuts!
