Oatmeal cookies are always good, but these are GREAT! Loaded with extras they are almost like a homemade granola bar! My daughter eats them for breakfast.
If you are like me you will throw in some white chocolate chips while you’re at it!
Just whip the shortening and sugars together and stir in the flour and spices.
I like to double the recipe and freeze a bunch for grab-and-go. These are great to ALWAYS have on hand!
