Do you have a go to cookie recipe?That recipe that is quick, easy and yields
the delicious treat you are craving?You
know the one, the recipe that you make so often that you have the recipe
memorized?Well these are that cookie for
me.
I have made these cookies almost as
long as I can remember and it seems that everyone has a version of this
cookie.It is the cookie that no matter
how busy I am I am willing to make when I am craving something chocolate.It is the cookie that my daughter now makes
when she is craving a cookie (this is what happened yesterday, she wanted
cookies and neither of us felt like making them so we made these).We call them Stovetop Cookies, but they go by
many different names.They combine all
that is good: chocolate, peanut butter, and oatmeal into a candy-like cookie
that is made on the stovetop.Enjoy and
may you have a Sweet Morning!
