Day 68: Oatmeal Cookies

Day 68.

This is the dessert that I took to the family from yesterday's post.

I love these cookies because they're just the right amount of sweetness and spice and they're good and chewy. Yum

Here's what you'll need.

Swat your assistant's hand outta the way.

Use a cookie scoop to portion dough. Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes.

Mmmm! Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
