Worlds best cookie? Well, I haven't eaten nearly enough cookies to decide if this is actually the worlds best or not. I can tell you that it's pretty darn good.
Believe it or not, cookies can be made (and made well) without chocolate. I know! I was shocked too!
I was surfing Facebook one day when one of my friends posted this recipe. It was her grandmothers recipe and she gave me permission to put it on my blog. I'm so glad she did because I shared some with my neighbors (because this recipe makes a ton of cookies) and they all raved about them! I find myself going back and then back again. They are so buttery, the center is chewy but the edges are crispy. All the flavors are really subtle but they work so well together.
The cookie itself is very light feeling, which is probably why I think I can just eat them continuously. Make no mistake, they aren't diet food AT ALL!, but the texture is right on. And it helps if you tell yourself that oatmeal is good for you. ;)
