oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

I was looking for something different to make, so I came across oatmeal chocolate chip cookies when browsing through my recipes. And I decided to frost them. Oatmeal cookies always take me back to when I was really young and my great grandmother used to always make sure she had a bag of frosted oatmeal cookies. They were crunchy and had that hard frosting on them. I can’t remember the brand, but I know they came in a blue bag and I loved them. And I adored my great grandmother. She was a wonderful, kind lady with a big heart and was an incredible cook and baker. I was blessed to know her, as well as all four of my grandparents. I have so many great memories with all of them.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I also recommend chilling the individual mounds of dough overnight. And by the way, you don’t have to frost these. 🙂

Cool completely.
