<p>I&#8217;m not a big cookie person but sometimes you just want a really good warm cookie with your morning coffee or a little pick me up snack in the afternoon. This cookie is super easy to make and most of us already have the ingredients at home. I&#8217;ll be honest, this is the first time I made oatmeal cookies which in the past I really didn&#8217;t like them. I guess my taste of snacks have changed a little bit. </p>



<p>This cookie is super versatile, I like to add chocolate chips and walnuts to it but those ingredients are optional or can be substituted with raisins, cranberries, caramel chips and any other nut if you don&#8217;t want walnuts. For the purpose of this recipe I&#8217;ll be adding dark chocolate chips and walnuts.</p>



<p><strong>Kitchen Tools Needed:</strong><br><br>Large mixing bowl<br>Hand mixer<br>Measuring cups &; spoons<br>Baking Sheet(s)<br>Parchment paper (optional)<br>Spatula<br>Large Spoon or cookie scooper</p>



<p>This recipe will make about 24 medium size cookies</p>
