I have tried sooo many oatmeal cookie recipes and never had success. They were flat, see-through, balls, too crunchy, not set up enough...you name it. I think everything that could have gone wrong with my oatmeal cookies, went wrong! Poor Zach, had to put up with all my failures. Anyway, a while ago, my dad sent me this recipe that my mom uses that always turns out really good. So, I thought, "what the heck!" and tried it a while ago. They turned out so good (not perfect, mind you, but leaps and bounds ahead of what came out of the oven before.) I made them again last night for Zach, and they were even better this time. Well, you know me, I had to document it. So, here's a picture-careful, you don't want to drool on your keyboard (bwahahaha)-and the recipe. If you try it and love it, thank my mom-of course, she could use any recipe to make anything and it would be delicious. :)
