I know a lot of kids went back to school a few weeks ago, but in our neck of the woods most schools start back tomorrow. My little guy actually has one more week left until preschool starts back up, but with so many friends beginning their first day of kindergarten, I wanted to share this perfect back to school sweet treat!
Unlike a lot of oatmeal cookie recipes that I've tried, these are moist, dense, chewy and delicious. Not to mention, they also work great as "mommy therapy" for those of you who tend to be a little weepy on the first day of school (myself included)! Good luck mamas, your babies will be just fine :)
