Melisande
I have tried a lot of oatmeal cookie recipes but this one is the best I have tried. A wonderful simple oatmeal cookie. I am sure you could dress it up with nuts, raisins as well, but alone with the icing they are simply delicious. This recipe is a goody!
Chahinez
So glad to hear you enjoyed them, Melisande!
Felicia Wiesen
These are definitely a good choice if you have a ton of oats expiring like I did ha ha! Despite not having any chocolate, sprinkles, or any other things little kids normally gravitate towards, my two little ones really liked them! Definitely let your cookies cool completely before icing them as the recipe stated. I got too excited & iced them too early & it soaked in a bit. Totally my fault there! The taste was the same regardless though.
Chahinez
I’ve definitely had a few moments like those lol.
As long as they taste good that’s all that matters!!
