Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
"I found this receipe in Joanne Fluke's book "Plum Pudding Murder". If you like a dense Oatmeal Cookie and like chocolate, this is definately the cookie for you! Next time I want to try adding in dried cherries! Note, I used semi-sweet chocolate as that is what I had in the house, and I made the cookies about the size of two teaspoonfulls, which made 24 cookies."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of cooking and baking with my mom and/or my grandmother. I still love cooking many of the recipes they taught me. Now I don't do nearly enough cooking as I would like, as I don't often get much time. I like trying new ingredients and flavor combinations, but also love going back to my classic favorites.
