Fauxtmeal Cookies
(faux oatmeal)

Ingredients

Vegetable oil:  1 cup
Butter:  1 stick (quarter cup)
Brown sugar:  2 cups
Tapioca flour:  1/4 cup
Water:  3/4 cup (warm)
Almond extract:  2 teaspoons
Eggs:  2
Garbanzo bean flour:  2 cups
Soda:  1 teaspoon
Citric acid crystals:  1/2 teaspoon
Salt:  1 teaspoon
Rolled barley:  8 cups
Chopped nuts (or other goodies):  1 to 2 cups (we prefer pecans)


Warm the vegetable oil, add the butter, stir until the butter melts
and pour into a large mixing bowl.  Stir in the sugar, almond
extract and lightly beaten eggs.   Mix the tapioca flour into the
warm water until thoroughly disolved and add to mixture.  In
another bowl, thoroughly mix the garbanzo bean flour, soda,
salt, and citric acid crystals before stirring them into the main
mixture.  Slowly stir in the rolled barley and pecans.  Spoon
onto cookie sheets in slightly flattened non-symetrical balls,
and bake for 8 to 12 minutes.  If you're fortunate enough to
have AirBake cookie sheets, sixteen minutes at 350 yields an
almost perfect cookie

You may never want to make another oatmeal cookie! Mondo yum!
