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!

Holy crap, Amanda! I just saw what happened to your oven. I would totally be rocking back and forth on the floor. I love Garbage/Monster/Ranger cookies, and the photos are great!

We call them Dishpan Cookies. 😉
This makes me want to bake cookies, right now. Well as soon as they turn the water back on an the plumber moves out of the kitchen!
You had me at the first picture!
I searched for this theme! I just had my first Compost Cookie from Momofuku last week (along with Fruity Cereal Milk). Personally, I prefered the Cornflake Cookie. But my kids were crazy for the Compost. I’m sure they would think these are the tops! Lovely photos!
