The other day I came home to my son (Dylan) making Snickerdoodle cookies. They smelled fantastic. As the weekend approached I decided not to be outdone by him so made some Oatmeal Cookies. The first time we have made them..and they will forever be on our list of things to bake. There we very good…
As with other recipes, I thought I would share this one below.

Directions
