Remember the good old days at school and you got the lunch and it had one of those homemade chocolate oatmeal cookies? Well, this is that exact cookie, okay they taste like candy and not cookies but they call them cookies.
This is a must cookie for Christmas! Everyone loves these, young and old. The Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are a hit at Christmas parties as well and they are very inexpensive to make and only takes a few minutes of time.
The best part? well, beside they are delicious is that you only have one pot, a measuring cup and one spoon dirty!
They are so simple to make! Using only 6 ingredients.
You`ll Need :
2 cups of white sugar
1/2 cup of whole milk or canned evaporated milk
