Oatmeal Cookies

The last couple of weeks I have wanted oatmeal cookies.  I pulled out the recipe I've had forever and they didn't turn out the way I wanted.  So a couple of days later I made them again and got them to work, they taste wonderful.  I love how light they are.  We ate almost all of the cookies that day, Adam has already asked for more.
