An honest Oatmeal cookie

What is an honest oatmeal cookie? It is made with all oats no flour. I was watching Alton Brown and he was making these and I just had to try it! I think it's a great cookie and worth making.
Start by toasting 16 ounces of rolled oats. 350 for 20min on a sheet pan.
Take 8 ounces of the oats a food process to a fine powder...add 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of kosher salt.

In a mixer cream 10 ounces of room temp butter with 3 1/2 ounces of sugar and 6 ounces of brown sugar. ***{out of brown sugar? Just mix regular sugar and molasses or pure maple syrup in a mixer until you have the desired brown you want..it's that simple.... }
Cream until smooth.
add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 lrg. egg
add all your oat flour mix combine until most of flour is gone {not all} add the remaining 8 ounces of whole oats and optional garnish I used 12 ounces butterscotch chips but use anything {raisins, chocolate chips,etc...}

scoop and refrigerate for an hour to slow spread. Enjoy!
