Oatmeal Cookies Excitement and Recipe

Once I have an oven I feel is reliable again, I'm going to get back to baking cookies for people regularly.

(Oatmeal chocolate chip, or oatmeal raisin for me).

I used to do it all the time, every week almost, during the best and most positive time of my life, and it's something I'm excited to get back to.
