A couple weeks ago I posted a recipe for chewy oatmeal cookies. Well as we know, I am an oatmeal cookie addict, so I decided to try yet another chewy oatmeal cookie. This one is from the blog How Sweet It Is, which is a fabulously beautiful food blog, which a great combination of interesting yet do-able recipes.
Her original recipe only calls for chocolate chips, but I decided to add a little more je ne sais quoi. Which means, instead of chocolate chips, I went with butterscotch chips, M&M’s (autumn colors of course), and chopped pecans. Basically I look for any excuse to make monster cookies with as many add-ins as possible.
