Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
By now you know that I love baking and making treats for my family. To be honest most of the baked goodness goes with my hubby to work and they REALLY loved these Malted Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies I made last weekend.
This recipe makes for thick and chewy oatmeal cookies. The trick is to refrigerate your cookie dough for at least two hours before baking. I left mine in the refrigerator overnight and they cooked up perfectly. The malted milk powder really cut down on the sweetness of the cookie and it has oatmeal in the recipe so they have to be good for you- right? :0)
