Did you ever feel like just having a yummy cookie with chips in them, chewy, and warm? Who can resist the aroma of fresh baked cookies wafting through the house? There is something about eating one or maybe two…which brings back memories of my mom’s kitchen and the family. These delicious tasty cookies are pure comfort foods to me. I will have to make some of these scrumptious cookies as my son Paul and his girlfriend Nikki will be coming in for a visit this Friday. He lives upstate New York and I have not seen him in about 2 years or more. I am sure that they will be thrilled with a good chewy cookie as a treat after dinner. Classic cookies from Hershey’s kitchen to my kitchen. Beautiful to look at and even better to eat.
Here is my recipe for these fabulous cookies called, “Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies” and a cold cocktail to have with it on these hot days, called a, “Oatmeal Cookie Crush Cocktail.” Enjoy and make some memories for your family!

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

Dear Dottie. I was thinking of baking this morning since the weather seems "cool" compared to the last couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies sound wonderful for a nice treat with a cup of coffee.
Hugs and be well. xoxo Catherine
