I just know my faithful blog readers are starved for yummy recipes, so I'm doing back-to-back food posts. Your taste buds will thank me, I'm sure.
You know you're dying for some more decadent cookie recipes. So Maggie and I decided to oblige today and whip up a batch of these delicious treats. This is a variation on an old favorite--the ubiquitous chocolate chip cookie. However, these are even better because they have oatmeal in them. So they are more substantial and are really chewy and good.
Back in 1987, a friend brought these to a cookie swap I attended. She called them "Dad's Favorite Oatmeal Cookies." We think you're gonna love them.
Time out to lick the beaters!
"Come on, Bella. Let's go play while we wait....."
"Why does it have to take sooooo long??"
"Yay!! They're ready, Bella!!!!!"
"Oh, good dog! Here's a bite for you!"
Dad's Favorite Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

Enjoy a beautiful week!
