24 Days of Christmas – Day 3
There is one thing that comes up as the number one term searched for here on Taste and Tell over and over again. Cookies. You all like cookies.
But really, can you ever have too many cookie recipes?? This makes me wonder why it has taken me so long to post these cookies that I am bringing you today. I won’t even tell you how many months ago I actually made them. I guess I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to share them – and what better time than when we are in high baking mode for the holidays??
MY LATEST RECIPES
These cookies are chewy and chocolately and have a little bit of fun mixed in by adding sprinkles. If I were to make them again right now, I’d opt for some red and green sprinkles to make them perfect for Christmas. But that’s the beauty of these cookies – change up the sprinkles for whatever occasion you are celebrating!
You will need either a blender or a food processor to process the oats in this recipe – there really aren’t any shortcuts around this step. The oats give a different texture and flavor to these cookies that is not the same as regular all flour recipes. It’s a great way to change things up!!
And the way I figure it right now, there are 22 days until Christmas, so that means 22 days to bake cookies, right? 😉

These cookies are so cute. They remind me of the chewy thin chocolate chip cookies you used to be able to get at at grocery store bakeries. Can’t wait to try them.
