Warning: these blondies are amazing. Normally, I try to reserve some self-control when it comes to eating what I’ve baked. With these blondies around, my willpower seems to go missing. Honestly, the first time I made them, I picked at them until a whole row was polished off. It takes everything I have to resist …

Oatmeal Scotchies
Sometimes, you just want a classic cookie: something with a solid flavor combination that just about everyone knows and loves. That’s what I was going for with these Oatmeal Scotchies.
