These cookies first started out as blondies, or so I thought. Sometimes I don’t read a recipe all the way through or I skim over the directions. Well, I missed an important word called “melted” and I beat together my room temperature butter and brown sugar. For some reason, I read over that line again and then noticed that small key word. oops!! Needless to say, I got out another stick of butter and started over with the blondies.
But there was no way I was going to let that beautiful sugary pile of goodness go to waste. And Brown Sugar Oatmeal cookies were created! These cookies are soft and chewy, tart and sweet, and oh so yummy! I made them for my sister’s work party and she brought back an empty tin! Winner, Winner!!! Plus the white and red just scream holidays!!
Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday week!! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!
