Recipe Notes

Optional: Replace 1/4 cup flour with cocoa powder.  These are extra good with ice cream.

If you like oatmeal cookies, 1 cup flour with 1 1/4 cup oat flour.  If desired, replace all the flour with 4 1/4 c oat flour.   Let sit for 15 minutes before baking.  Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar.
