I have a cabinet full of cookbooks, most of which I had never really looked through. Don't get me wrong I love to cook, but I don't leave myself enough time and I'm always hesitant about trying a new recipe. I have been finding lots of recipes on pinterest but I decided to take advantage of all these cookbooks.
So I've been going through them and putting post-it notes on recipes that sound good, would be east to make or fun to take to a group for dinner. I found a recipe for brown sugar oatmeal cookies. The cookbook said they only cost $.08 a serving (it was a cheap and easy meals cookbook) So I decided to make them for my Bible study group this week--let's just say it's a good thing the recipe made over 4 dozen cookies because quite a few disappeared before group.
They taste like a bowl of oatmeal only in cookie form. They are super easy to make, I used my kitchen aid for most of it and then had my hubby stir the oats in for me cause I couldn't get it mixed well enough. I would love to have these around the house more often but I think me and Kyle would both be buying new clothes if that was the case ;) Although, these cookies are fairly healthy since they have 1/2 regular flour 1/2 whole wheat flour.
Brown Sugar-Oatmeal Cookies (from Pilsbury Savvy Shoppers cookbook)
