I’m a lucky girl. I live 5 minutes away from my grandparents, Moms & Pops, and they have been such a help to me while Logan works full time and is working on his master’s degree. Lately, they’ve invited me over to their brand new kitchen to catch up on my favorite pass-time: baking. All the while, they love on and take care of Liam. So blessed.

During one of the last baking visits, I made these.

Oh. My.

I know you’ll probably be shocked to hear it, but 9 times out of 10, I’ll grab an oatmeal raisin cookie over a chocolate chip. I know. SHOCKER! I just can’t resist a chewy oatmeal cookie. Oatmeal chocolate chip is probably my favorite, but raisins are just as delicious. Mmm!

Now, if you put marshmallow fluff in the middle you’ll have a cookie-gasm.

So go bake these this weekend.

You don’t want to miss it.

P.S. What’s your favorite cookie? If you have the recipe, be sure to leave it in your comment! 😀 I’d love to try it!
