I love  cookies.   If I had a choice of any kind of dessert, it would definitely be a cookie.  This last week was so fun calculating the results of our favorite cookie poll.  I am still a little shocked about the results. 

I really thought the chocolate chip cookie would win out.  If you haven't read the results of the poll, be sure and check it out our story sponsored by Community Bakery.   Did you know that you can order custom cookies from scratch right here on our store?   Check out - shop sweetyellowcornbread.   You can email me at: pat@sweetyellowcornbread.com if you want to purchase some made from scratch cookies or granola that are not listed as well.  

Tonight I decided to bake up a batch or two of Greg's favorite Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pecan cookies.   These have a hint of chocolate chip and pecans.  You don't want the chocolate chips or pecans over powering the wonderful taste of the oatmeal.   These have a touch of that wonderful organic Vietnamese cinnamon in them as well.   This cinnamon is light and smells wonderful.   You can find it on my #Amazon Store at https://www.amazon.com/shop/sweetyellowcornbread.  I have linked it in the weekly picks category.

Check out the recipe below if you want to try a batch at home:
