It is another Friday which for me means celebrating another National Food Holiday! Last week was a new food to me, Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day. Today is one of my favorite foods, Oatmeal Cookies!
While there are many different kinds of Oatmeal cookies, my favorite are a kind that my mom makes. They stray from the typical oatmeal raisin kind, but that is ok. They still have plenty of oatmeal in them along with coconut, heath bits, and butterscotch morsels! Here is the recipe.

Thanks Laurence! I hope you have a great National Oatmeal Cookie Day!
Happy National Oatmeal Cookie Day. I added Cranberry Mac Nut Oatmeal Bars to the flickr pool.
sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
YUM, and of course they are healthy for us all thanks to the oatmeal, I love a healthy cookie. LOL! And coconut to any cookie is an added bonus I think..
I think oatmeal cookies are the “healthiest” of cookies! enjoy oatmeal cookie day!
Mmm, butterscotch and toffee is definitely the way to go for oatmeal cookies. The results must have been super good. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I’d like to invite you to stop by and link your cookies up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweets-for-saturday-9.html
These look wonderful, I can’t wait to try them! I just made oatmeal butterscotch cookies last week but they weren’t quite what I was hoping for. A bit too thin, but I think the coconut will help with that.
I made these cookies and within two days they all disappeared … I swear the roommates ate them all! I had to make a new batch last night for my long bus ride tonight. Thanks for sharing!
