STEEL CUT OATMEAL COOKIES

My apologies for the delay, I was a week behind with my “Cookie of the Week” posts, but the great news is (drum roll, please)…  now, I’m all caught up!

“Using up all of the random ingredients in our pantry, I was intrigued by the container of Steel Cut Oats.  I asked myself, ‘Dave (I address myself like that in my thoughts), why not make a cookie with these?’ Well, challenge accepted, self.  The cool thing is that the Steel Cut Oats provide a sort of nutty texture within these cookies, so the result is a fun take on traditional oatmeal cookies.  Enjoy!”
