Another delicious recipe I discovered via Pinterest.

CHEWY MOLASSES-SPICE COOKIES
From the folks over at Martha Stewart

I followed their recipe exactly, except I did not dredge the cookies in sugar.

In my opinion, it doesn't get any better than oats and chocolate. Doing a little holiday baking.

We had an abundance of blueberries the other day. I put on Bette Midler's Blueberry Pie and Booli and I had great fun making these.
