Super easy Oatmeal Cookies

I've been on the lookout for sweet stuff that gluten and dairy intolerant H can eat.  Tried these today and they came out great! And super easy to make.  Daughter happily gave me a hand with these.
You can do it all in one mixing bowl, with no need for electrical mixer!  Plus since they've got oatmeal, you can feel less guilty since they're quite a healthy ingredient.
