Oatmeal chip cookies


This recipe sounded so interesting, I gave it a try.  It has cinnamon and molasses in it....a combo you don't normally find in chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't stop eating them! The cinnamon and chocolate just kept calling my name. It called MANY times, I'm afraid. Chewy and delicious...I couldn't stop!


I didn't tell Brent they were different so when he bit into them he really didn't know what to think! He was expecting a regular chocolate chip cookie. After he got used to the unexpected flavors, I noticed them disappear quite fast!

    I can hear them calling my name as well. Even though I live thousands of kilometers away their voice reaches me here and I cannot resist, most definitely I cannot resist.

    The second picture had me drooling yesterday and now again today! I may make these soon and when I do I will link back to your blog.

    Do you think I could use butter instead of shortening or would you stick with the shortening? I have a ton of unsalted butter....??

    Hi! I'm not sure about the butter. It may cause them to spread more...the flavor would be even better, though!
