Oatmeal Cookies

I've been eating these for breakfast this a.m.
This is one of my favorite cookies. They are so easy to make and oh, so delicious. If you like oatmeal. Someone informed me last night that they don't like oatmeal cookies, but he does like every other cookie and cake that I make and bake. So, maybe he'll like this if he tries them.
