MDBD - Reece's Oatmeal Cookies

The past couple of weeks of MDBD have not gone well (I haven't blogged those yet, but you can look forward to those disaster posts in the near future). As a result, I decided to go back to cookies, because they seem to have a greater chance of being successful.

This week that was for sure the case. We made Reece's Oatmeal Cookies that we found on Mom on Timeout. Scott declared that these were his favorite cookies that I've made so far.

Zoey had a fun time making these cookies

As I mentioned before, Scott declared that these were his favorite cookies of all the cookies I have made. I thought they were good, but the peanut butter flavor didn't come through as strongly as I would have liked.
