cookie comfort



I needed comfort today.

I came down with a crazy cold that has left me breathing almost solely out of my mouth (gross, I know), and carrying a tissue with me where ever I go. In step my mom's famous M&M Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. These are like a hug from my mom in cookie form. Funny thing about these cookies though, my family grew up loving these little oaty bundles, but it turns out not everyone is such a fan. I can't figure it, but I thought I would include the recipe in case you want to give them a go.

(Note that I took a picture of the recipe instead of typing it out. Sick people don't type out recipes, silly.)
(Also of note, I am very proud of the stain on my recipe. Nothing says "tasty food worth messing up a kitchen for" like a soiled recipe.)

    sick people don't type out recipes.....but do sick people bake up cookies for friends to come by and eat??

    just merely a hypothetical question.

    Hope you feel better soon :-)

    Who doesn't like rolled oats in cookies? Yum-yum-yum. I love a good stained recipe too - a sure sign of appreciation!

    agreed! love stained recipes. Can't wait to try this. And get better ...also....you're not gross until you carry around a plastic bag to store your soiled tissues en route.

    Oh my lord. These look really good!
    Stained recipes = good outcomes.
    If you aren't making a mess you aren't baking! At least that rule makes me feel better when I see the pristine kitchens on Food Network. ;)
