Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

This weekend was a windows open, music up, it’s-beginning-to-feel-a-lot-like-spring-time weekend. To me…those kind of weekends require cookies.

Sometimes you want an easy recipe, one that doesn’t require a lot of time or energy. Or much thinking. Or dishes. These are the cookies for that time.

The original recipe from Quaker is called Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin cookies, and I now know why. This batch lasted under 24 hours! There’s just something about oatmeal cookies that are so addicting and comforting. They really might be my favorite kind of cookie.

Enjoy!
