Thank you! I am a BIG fan of oatmeal anything. It can be such a sweet treat, but not overpowering in it’s sweetness!

I love anything with oatmeal, YUM!
Thanks :)
Oh, double chocolate chip sounds good to me!

Glad to hear you agree, because double the chocolate chips are always better than just one, right?!

Ooh fun! I made cookies for a cookie exchange I did, but my family still needs to make some different cookies for ourselves. I’ll have to see which of these sound like something I could handle. LOL

Yes, having cookies is ALWAYS better than NOT having cookies! So bake away :)

Ohhhhhhh….wait…I link up a cookie recipe here? (eyes closed). I’ve been sick. Apparently, this means, I can’t follow instructions and read directions. =)

Even well, I am not very good at that. Yes, link up your fave cookie if you have one :) Hope you are feeling better!

I have to confess to not being a biscuit (cookie) baker, but I am open to trying any that are baked by others, so please feel free to send any for testing to me in the UK ;-) x #happynowbloglinkup

Haha, I have a friend like that! She says she burns cookies that come in the tins and all you have to do is put them in the oven :)

If we virtually exchange cookies there are NO calories, right? :)

I really love salted chocolate gingerbread cookies! It’s like gingerbread but some cocoa and thick salt. Yum! And I use moose cookie cutters. Because.. moose.

Of course!
I tried a train cookie cutter this year, it looked like a submarine. I am not sure the kids liked that shape so much…

Oh, you know I have TONS of holiday goodies in my archive (and more going up this week!). I can’t wait to check out some of the other recipes in the link-up. Thanks again for hosting and I hope your holidays are filled with all kinds of sweetness and magic!

Thanks Leslie. You are my cookie guru. I am seriously in awe of all that you come up with. I want to be your neighbor someday that gets to try your creations!

I think the best part of the holidays are all the cookies and fudge that people bring into work #happynow
jeremy@thirstydaddy recently posted…A Visit From The Christmas Spirit
Yes indeed, that does make work during the Holidays a very happy place. Unless you are on a diet, but who sticks to that during the holidays, right?!
Jen recently posted…The Happy Now Blog Link- Up #37
Your cookies look amazing! I remembered to drop by and link up for this one! YUM! Looking forward to getting adventures in the kitchen this weekend!
Yay, can’t wait to check it out! That is my plan this weekend too :)

Hi Jen, I went to make shortbread to update my photos on an old post and ended up messing about with the recipe and turning it into a coconut shortbread. I have yet to write up the post. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time put it together and share it with you.
Thank you for hosting.

It’s been one of those weeks, but I finally got there! Thank you so much for hosting and I will be back to check out the other linkers recipe… Hubby is revamping my pokey kitchen to give me more worksurfaces (bad timing, as the house is full of dust and there’s not a Christmas decoration in sight!), but I am sooooooo happy!
Thank you for hosting.
