Yum! The title just sounds great! I gave up sweets for lent and am looking to stay down the right track as I introduce sweets back into my life. I could potentially fall into the trap of sitting on the sofa eating a pound of chocolate covered everything. I found a recipe for oatmeal cookies on Pinterest. I figured I could make some modifications and whip up a batch myself. These are tasty and relatively healthy so you can even eat a couple! Also, I already had most of the ingredients in my kitchen. Let me know what you think.
