I’ve met my pumpkin cookie match. These are loaded with rolled oats (have I mentioned oatmeal cookies are my very favorite?), super soft and thick, and rich with pumpkin flavor. And loaded with chocolate chips. And they are so moist. I love. love. love. love.
Some friends had us over for dinner and we brought these for dessert. I had lost track of how many cookies I’d eaten before we even got there (several disappeared straight from the cooling rack). So on our way home I told my husband he had to take the rest of them to work the next day. I know myself way too well, they wouldn’t have lasted past breakfast. Or even the car ride home. By the time we got here there were only a few cookies left. Gasp–not sure how that happened. Who takes just a few cookies into work with them? Like “Hi,all 30 of my coworkers, take a nibble of a cookie that my wife made, they’re so good.”
Not happening. They stayed with me:)
still working with my phone’s camera. praying mine is fixed today!!
