Perfect Oatmeal Choc. Chip Cookies

I treat my blog as an online cookbook for me. Since I use recipes from all over: my cookbooks, magazines, internet, pinterest, etc. I don't always remember where I get the recipe, so if I post it on my blog then I know for sure it will be there when I want to make it again. So that is why I posted this somewhat original oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. It turned out fabulous. And did not use a ridiculous amount of butter, I have a 1 stick of butter limit. I refuse to make cookies that call for more than 1 stick, unless you are making 6 dozen or so ;)

I froze half to enjoy for later. When frozen fresh....you cannot even tell that they weren't baked that day. Just make sure to use freezer ziploc bags to prevent freezer burn. Sometimes I will wrap them in foil, to which freezer burn cannot stand a chance!

Chewy Coconut Cookies

So technically these are called 'candies' as opposed to a true cookie, but they are easy to make and delicious.

I think I added too much condensed milk so go easy. When they are baking the monds all melted together, so I worked quickly while they were still warm with a spatula and seperated them back into individual units.

I just whipped up a batch of these cookies!! They are amazingly delicious. I do not know what it is about the salt, but it adds another dimension!

To make it healthier I replaced the butter with an olive oil margarine (Becel Brand). And I did use natural PB because that is the only kind I had, even though they told you not to. Give these cookies a try!
