Oatmeal-Candy Bar Cookies #recipe

How is that cookie jar looking these days? Is it looking a bit empty?  It may just be time to fill your cookie jar with this great oatmeal cookie recipe. There is only one problem, after making these cookies, you may have to hide the jar from the rest of your family because I can guarantee you, they won't stay around for long.

When it comes to cookies, I simply love them all. It doesn't matter if they're sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies or oatmeal cookies, I can't get enough. Not only are they easy to make, but they taste delicious.

Therefore, I must share one of favorite oatmeal cookie recipes. I love this recipe because it combines two of my favorite things, cookies and candy bars. So, if you're looking for a great recipe combining the two, you have to try this recipe.
