Mmm. . . Delicious!

"Mmm. . . Delicious!" is Rachel's seal of approval for everything yummy.  Of course, only I know that she's trying to say "delicious," because I'm her Mama and we speak the same language. :)

 

Today we made my favorite Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies from my childhood.  I thought I had posted these before, but it turns out I have not!  I much prefer these to regular chocolate chip cookies, and that is probably because it's the only chocolate chip cookie my mom made when I was little.  Then my sister came along and we expanded our horizons to chocolate chip cookies without oatmeal. 

I now make both for my family, and I'm not known to dislike any cookie, but as I said, these are my favorite.

 

Sharing this recipe is long overdue, so here you go!

 

You will say, "Mmm. . . Delicious," too!

1 tsp vanilla
