These cookies are chewy, use large flake oats, and have a little almond extract in them, making them not your average oatmeal cookie.
I first tried them at a meeting, and found myself thinking about them the next day…which sounds hilarious, and I promise is not one of my normal past times. They were just different…memorable…special. So I asked my friend Dawn for the recipe and tried my first batch today.
I made them for a get together tonight…and I’m having a hard time to stop eating them all this afternoon.

The only major change I would make next time I make them, is to make a double batch. 😉
