| Do you mean you want to use oatmeal flour in place of all purpose flour? I doubt you mean that. I'm not that well acquainted with cookies, but I think oatmeal cookies usually just involve adding a couple of cups of rolled oats, a higher proportion (2/3rd) of brown sugar to white sugar and some milk (meh, a cup to two+ cups of oats?) to the usual cookie recipe. |

| yes, that's what I'm trying to do. i thought i needed to be more aware that rolled oats need more liquid ingredients, right? so if my recipe calls for 1 cup all purpose flour, can I do 2/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup flour? or is it more complicated than that? |

| I think it is more complicated. The protein in the APF provides structure to hold the dough together. The oatmeal would not replace the protein lost by reducing the amount of flour. Once you change the recipe that you love it is no longer the recipe that you love; it is completely different. So, if you start with the premis that you are now working with a completely different recipe, I would suggest looking at oatmeal cookie recipes to see what, if anything, looks like yours and start tweaking from there. Or just find a good oatmeal cookie recipe and stick with it. I should talk. I've never made a successfull cookie in my life!!! Jock |

| Hi, I’ve got a really good recipe that everyone loves. If you would like me to I can send it to you. It is a basic cookie dough base but you mix in the rolled outs and raisins after the dough is made. I use craisins instead of the raisins and I also add walnuts. Let me know if you would like the recipe. Kelley |

| myrlegacy, Is there a reason you don't want to us an existing recipe using oatmeal flour for oatmeal cookies? |
