Oatmeal Cookies
"This recipe came from a college friend many, many years ago. It makes the best tasting oatmeal cookie I've ever eaten, and I've made countless batches for my Dad through the years. I also used to make them to sell at my parents' pizza restaurant--and they sold out as soon as they went on the counter."

These are healthy-tasting oatmeal cookies (not very sweet), but still tasty and the texture was good. -
These are fantastic! They are simple to make and have a great texture and flavor. You can also add a handful of chocolate chips and that makes them just about PERFECT!

For work related purposes my husband and I travel most of the year, and live out of a suitcase. I miss cooking on a regular basis but try to make up for it during the times we are "home" trying several new recipes a week.
