More cookie recipes?? What is this, Christmas??
No, I am just trying to fulfill my promise that I would have at least 60 cookie recipes on this blog by the end of the year. This recipe is my 45th cookie recipe. And in all my 44 other cookie recipes, I have never made a plain old oatmeal cookie.
As a food blogger, I rarely make a recipe more than once. The recipe needs to be pretty damn good for me to make it again. And these cookies? Well, I have made this recipe twice in one week. That’s right folks. This one’s a keeper.
This recipe makes quite a lot of cookies. But that never fazes me, because I could eat these cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Speaking of breakfast, I am going to go ahead and call these cookies breakfast cookies. I mean, they have the word oatmeal right there in the title! And what’s more breakfast-y than oatmeal?
(Granted, I’m the one who wrote the title..)
So picture this: (because I didn’t have the foresight to ACTUALLY take a picture of it) some raspberry rhubarb jam (my new favorite flavor of jam by the way) smothered inside two of these delicious oatmeal cookies. Right beside a cup of steaming hot tea. Can you feel this? I am getting the warm and fuzzies just thinking about it.
I feel a strange compulsion to make these cookies a third time. Too much? With cookies this good..I don’t think so.

"plain old" oatmeal cookies are my favorite! Yay for being one more step closer to reaching your 60 cookie goal!
If you're going to eat a cookie (or two, three….), oatmeal is the way to go! These look delicious.
I think I should bake more cookies too! I only have like 2 cookie recipes on my blog. Anyway, these oatmeal cookies look fantastic! I can see why you've made them twice already! And I love the jam idea!
I can't believe you've already made 45 cookies this year!
I don't know what to say. 60 cookie recipes in one year. You look very thin in your photo. i would be in HUGE trouble if i did this, because I think I really am the cookie monster. These look awesome so what can I say? Bring it on!
