This is a recipe I came up with because I dreamed up my mother in law asking for oatmeal cookies with no cinnamon and almond extract. I made the cookies and they taste great, even if it was a request I had imagined up lol

Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet.I use a small ice cream scopp because I am OCD and like them to all be exactly the same size and shape. :)
Step 6

Bake for about 10-12 minutes. I like mine chewey, so I underbake slightly.

Let cool for a few minutes and then place on rack to cool. Let cookie sheet cool for 10-15 minutes between batches, or the cookies get flat and thin.
