Soft Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies had to be my FAVORITE cookie I ever baked that ended in disappointment LOL. I mastered this recipe and was so unbelievably happy with how they turned out. They were soft and chewy and seriously amazing. Then here I am, in the kitchen so excited to show them off to the Mr. when he gets home from work and he comes home, tries them and said he prefers them to be rock hard (they are better for dipping in milk is his reason) ……WHAT IN THE ACTUAL EFF? His idea of the perfect oatmeal cookie is like the Dad’s Oatmeal cookies you can buy. I was so crushed lol. I couldn’t believe how well they turned out that I was over the moon excited and this bugger comes home and tells me he likes them hard and wants me to put them in the oven longer …. OH MAN LOL! I put a few in the oven and over-cooked for him but I left the rest as their beautiful selves and that is the recipe I am sharing with you.
