I made these cookies yesterday for the Food Blogger Bake Sale going on this morning at the Argenta Farmers’ Market. I was hoping to bake more items, but with this little one keeping me on my toes I was lucky to get these made!
These are a great little cookie and quick to make. I’d love to tell you that it’s my great-great grandma’s recipe, but it’s not. It’s the recipe on the lid of my Quaker Oat box! I’ve make these several times most often substituting raisins for chocolate chips. I don’t care for raisins much, that’s why I tend to make them with chocolate chips instead. They are delicious either way!
If you happen to make it to the Bake Sale today and purchase a little baggie of these treats I hope you enjoy them. And all for a great cause!
