Great Oatmeal Cookies

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cookies and Bars

If oatmeal is good for them in a bowl it's good for them in a cookie.

 "I like this recipe very much. The butter really makes it great. I don't blend the oats at all, I prefer the chewy texture of the oats in the cookies. Good job." - paulwilke
