Oatmeal ginger snaps

Recently I bought a ton of oatmeal on sale. Nine pounds of it to be exact! As much as I like a good breakfast oatmeal, I had to find something else to make with it, enter oatmeal ginger snaps.

I love AllRecipes and this recipe is just one more n a long list of winners from this site. I changed the spices a bit simply because I ran out of nutmeg, and I am apparently quite horrible at following directions because I didn’t roll the cookies in sugar before cooking. Despite all that they turned out wonderfully, they may even be my new favorite cookie! Make sure and make your cookies small. They are chewy and crisp at the same time with an absolutely delicious flavor. Next time I make these I may try adding in a bit of extra flour to make them a bit more cake like, and I may add some more oatmeal just because I love the flavor and texture they impart. If you are looking for a tasty cookie a bit outside our standard chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie fare, be sure and try these out!
