sort of healthy oatmeal cookies
(1 rating)
Yesterday I made the baked oatmeal, the one with the 1/2 cup of butter and cup of brown sugar--it tasted as good as it sounded. I promised to post my oatmeal cookie recipe, the one I've been using forever and is a way to use up the quick cooking oatmeal that I've abandoned in favor of McCann's, the oatmeal that takes a half hour to cook, time very well spent.
