Oatmeal Cookies

Hello Everyone! 

I guess I'll make my first post deceptive, by posting about cookies. With butter and sugar and all that heavenly goodness inside. In reality, most of my posts will probably be healthy stuff. I have not yet succeeded in the realm of healthy cookies, but these cookies have received rave reviews. 

I'll be honest, it's not my recipe, but I'm going to take credit for it because out of my selected taste-tester co-workers plus the Husband, everyone loved them. :) And it's all because of me.



Oatmeal Cookies 


1c            butter, softened
1c            white sugar
1c            brown sugar
2              eggs 
1t            vanilla
2c            flour
1t            baking soda
1t            salt
1.5t         cinnamon
.5t           nutmeg
3c            oats (quick or regular, both work)

PS, I stole that picture from here: http://hotpolkadot.com/2010/11/25/warming-up-to-winter/

I felt too guilty when I went back and looked at how cute and creative the pictures are, I had to give credit somewhere. :)
