Small Recipe... GF Chocolate Chip Cookies

The recipe book Better Homes and Gardens Great Cooking For Two has this recipe, along with 2 variations for Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies. Notice that it says Oat cookies not oatmeal cookies. That is because the oatmeal is ground up in your blender or food processor till they turn into a powder (flour).
 I liked the idea of a small amount of cookies, the oats used as a flour and by using a Measure to Measure flour from King Arthur I made them Gluten Free. The recipe calls for an all purpose flour but they can be made either way. I did not try them with GF all purpose flour but any GF flour that can be swapped one for one should work for GF.
 They are a good soft cookie that will go on my list of GF baking treats.
