Yummy Time: Cookie Crumble: Oatmeal Scotchies!

Every Christmas I always look forward to the different variation of cookies and desserts that everyone is going to make. From Chocolate Mint cookies and Gingerbread Men to my ULTIMATE favorite: Oatmeal Scotchies!  

Thinking about these cookies alone makes me drool! This cookie is the epitome of delish! Creamy butterscotch with the texture of the oatmeal grains! ::YUM!!!!!!!::

I definitely think I am going to attempt making these bad boys on my own this year.. I won't be home in Ohio for the holidays. Rather- I will be a bit outside of NYC with the bf and his family. Hopefully these will be impressive. I hate when someone invests time into a dish and noone eats it!


Here is my favorite ::soon to be attempted: Nestle TollHouse Recipe for Oatmeal Scotchies cookies! I will absolutely be positing pictures when I make these. It should be interesting to see if they turn out!
