When I lived in L.A. there was a bakery who made Oatmeal Pear Chocolate Chip Muffins. Over the years I have worked to turn them into a cookie. I have finally got it right. These are my husbands favorite fall cookie.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The pear adds such a wonderful moistness to these scrummy cookies... soft and delicious!
