Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Posted by Yasmine on Monday, June 7, 2010, In : Desserts 
This is my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. I got the idea from a recipe on a Quacker Oats box, tried it a few times and made my own changes. This recipe turned out very chewy and holds for a good week without going stale. Keep cookies refrigerated if you'd like them to last longer.

  • ½ cup sugar
