They are one of my all-time favorites. But they could be better right? 🙂
I love to tweak things in the search of the most fabulous wonderful yummy scrumptious cookie ever.
Start with a basic oatmeal cookie recipe.
(FYI this is the BEST basic oatmeal cookie recipe you will ever try hands down. HUGE flavor.)
To this add whatever you love!
I like to combine a 1/2 cup of rich and creamy organic peanut butter.
Then the really fun stuff.
And there is more.
I also had Heath chips.
And walnuts. (sometimes, and just for everyone else. *I* dont like nuts in cookies!)
And mini caramels.
These cookies are no fail. Add whatever YOU like!

Those look so good! Oatmeal are my favorite cookies. I’m sick right now, it’s been a week ugh, and could go for some but alas I’m out of the oatmeal. 🙁
Mmmm I even have some golden raisens that sound like they would be good in them! 🙂
