OATMEAL SCOTCHIES

I originally made these to take to the in-laws. I left out a few to give Richard, which he enjoyed and gave it his "Richard Approve " smile.

The remainder of the cookies went in the freezer.

Mey brought food over and I wanted to give her something back and the only thing I had ready was the cookies. Took a few out of the freezer and figured Richard would be happy since Mey doesn't eat sweets.

Gabe spoke to Richard and he said he only got ONE cookie from the last batch I sent over. I told Gabe WHAT? Mey doesn't eat sweets!

Spoke to Mey on our morning walk and asked what happened to the cookies- she rubbed her tummy and smiled and said  -SO GOOD.

So there you have it. It's a family approved  cookie.
