Saturday evening the temperature started to dip into the 50’s making it the perfect opportunity to head to the kitchen, crank the oven and make some cookies. To me oatmeal cookies have a comforting smell and taste. Making it the quintessential cookie to bake during the fall.

  3. These Are the best! We made some a few weeks ago and for some reason I think they are healthier due to oatmeal. Ha ha.

  12. Yum yum, this just reminded me of an oatmeal cookie someone made me once at work, but there were no raisins but butterscotch chips instead. They were divine!
