Ingredients

• Cookies:
• 2 Cups Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour

• ½ Tsp Baking Soda
• ¾ Cup Butter (1 ½ Sticks)
• 1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

• 1 ½ Cups Old Fashioned Oats
• 1 Heaping Cup Raisins
• Icing:

Directions

2. Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees
3. Melt Butter and set aside to cool slightly
4. In a bowl, mix Flour, Xanthan Gum, Salt and Baking Soda
5. In a separate bowl, cream the brown and white sugar with the melted butter until well blended and no lumps from brown sugar. Add in the Eggs, Vanilla and Cinnamon and beat 2-3 minutes until light and creamy.
6. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until just blended. Add the Oats and Raisins and blend until just mixed.
7. Drop 1/8 to 1/4 cup loose balls (about a large heaping normal kitchen teaspoon) onto lined cookie sheet (12 per sheet).
8. Bake for 14-16 Minutes (@ Sea Level; 18 minutes @ altitude) until the edges just begin to brown. Allow to cool slightly on sheet then transfer to rack to cool fully.
9. Icing:
10. In an oversize bowl, pour milk onto powdered sugar. Blend well.
