i saw this recipe listed in my grandma's recipe
book as "best cookies you will EVER have"
and had to write it down. i never tried it
until a rainy thursday night a few
weeks ago when we had a movie
night with our roomies and we
needed these "best cookies"
of course! i tried them out and...
(we really like our chocolate chip
cookies around here, and have some
favorites...) but these are amazing
because they are different. the blended
oatmeal gives them a great texture and
the flavor is so good, especially with
the combo of semi-sweet chocolate
chips with hershey's milk chocolates.
also, big tip: they are amazing warm, but
seriously even better the next day.
we are running the san francisco marathon
today, so i thought these were perfect to
post because i have a feeling i'll be
whipping these up later tonight
after those 26.2 miles...

I can NOT wait to try these out! I love oatmeal cookies. Especially if they have chocolate chips. And especially especially if they are a recipe passed down from grandma's. :)
ReplyDeleteyes you'll love them, promise. i think we have matching tastebuds :)
DeleteEmi, I usually stay pretty up-to-date on your blog but I don't recall reading about your training for the SFM? As a runner I am so curious how you maintain training with all your traveling? I would be curious to hear! :)
ReplyDeletehey! i know, i haven't written too much about it with all that's been going on but i will definitely write a little bit about balancing the two when i post about the marathon! :) are you a runner?!
DeleteYes! Not a fast one :) but I've ran two full marathons!
DeleteCongrats on completing it by the way!!
DeleteYou and your races amaze me! Since I can't run I'll try these cookies instead.
ReplyDeleteHope it wasn't too grueling! D has run that one a few times and it has a lot of hills. Surely these cookies were a hit after running, guessing you had some other calorie intake too. My last race left me very hungry. :-)
ReplyDeleteUmmm... YES! These sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese chocolate chip cookies are my families favorite! We make them all the time, they are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, sound delish!!
ReplyDeleteI might just have to make these for a baby blessing this coming weekend.
