Just wish I felt better. Oh well…. they have their hearts set on these. I’ll toughen up and make them smile.
Thank Goodness for my Kitchen Aid mixer….I doubled the recipe which I do NOT recommend. Just make two batches and that way you won’t need to wipe the dough off the walls. (stop laughing)
Very simple recipe right off the top of the Quaker Oats Oatmeal container
