Oatmeal Walnut Cookies

Old fashioned oatmeal walnut cookies. They're prefect for Christmas time or anytime!So let me just go on record and say that I am an oatmeal cookie lover! I know that not every one is, but maybe that’s because they’ve not had these oatmeal walnut cookies! Just sayin’.

As a kid I felt that oatmeal cookies (particularly oatmeal raisin, which were a cruel joke because they tricked you into thinking they’re chocolate chip) were for old people. I suppose that’s because old folks were the only ones I ever saw eating them! No self-respecting kid would run to the table and intentionally grab oatmeal raisin, am I right? And if you did grab one, when you bit into it, you wanted to cry out in disappointment. And of course, you had to eat it anyway because you bit it. Oh, the trials of childhood.

However, as an adult, I’ve come full-circle with oatmeal cookies (hence the comment ‘oatmeal raisin cookies are for old people’). I’m old and I now love all varieties of oatmeal cookies, including raisin; the subtle warm spices and the hearty texture from the oats, mmm! Then you add in the sweetness of raisins and the crunch from walnuts and it’s like warm chewy heaven!

Trust me, they’re perfect at Christmas, even though they are a non-traditional Christmas cookie!
