GF No-Bake Cookies

In case I haven't mentioned, my daughter and I are unable to eat food containing gluten. Gluten is in almost everything, often hidden. We've found there are some snacks you just can't find a suitable GF replacement for, so we make our own.

This morning, I was inspired by my friend Gina King and decided to make a batch of No Bake Cookies. You can make these cookies with or without gluten, just use GF Oats. I like Bob's Red Mill brand. They are readily available in our local store.

Here goes!!!
