If I had to pick a favorite cookie,
this has got to be it. It's the one cookie that I cannot get enough
of! Other cookies I'm fine with just one, usually it's a stretch for me
to have two. But I can't keep my hands off of these! I justify by
telling myself they have lots of oatmeal in them, so they're probably
good for me! Maybe I should be eating them for breakfast, too! Gimme
another reason...
They are a staple for me. In fact, I ordered a huge 10 pound bag of
butterscotch chips in bulk, just because I make them so often!
