Light Oatmeal Scotches
"Oatmeal Scotches are a family favorite in my house. I wanted to create a lighter recipe so I could enjoy as well. I reduce the amount of butter by half, but could try using 1 full cup of applesauce."

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT BAKING!! I love being in the kitchen, mixing up new recipes, and old ones. I love to see the reaction of peoples faces. I even enjoy making a bad recipe, because i learn from my mistakes, and then just a try a different recipe.
