  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.

  5. Add the gluten-free oats and salt, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, using about 2 tablespoons per cookie.
  7. Allow cookies to cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until completely set and firm to the touch.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
