Recipe Of The Day: Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today is National Chocolate Chip Day. Show the people around you some love and make a few cookies from scratch. I think its funny how people always say they are on a diet at first, then they have a few and before you know it, a whole gang of cookies vanishes right before your eyes.

Besides once you make something from scratch you will see just how quickly you never want to mess with store bought stuff again.

Enjoy!

Recipe Of The Day: Brown Butter, Golden Raisin & Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

 Something can be said about Oatmeal Cookies (just don't let it be anything negative ok!) Today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day, and with all the drama and BS going on in the World, I felt that instead of putting up a cookie recipe that promote health and life, I would put something fattening, filling and full of FLAVOR. 

These Brown Butter / Pecan & Golden Raisin Oatmeal Cookies are one of the easiest and best tasting cookie recipes we have put to use around The Supreme Plate test kitchen.

The brown butter adds another depth of nutty flavor to the cookie that just screams, dip me in milk and eat a plate full (ok maybe thats just my inner fat kid giving me signals to eat a few.)

So remember celebrate National Oatmeal Cookie Day and Enjoy these bad boys.
