It’s my second month of Secret Recipe Club and (as my kids would say) I am such a FAIL! I had a trip to California for work and I thought “I will have plenty of time to do this when I get back” … I so forgot that it’s DECEMBER and there are a million extra things that need to get done this month and on top of all that, my son’s birthday and then on top of THAT we had some other crazy things happen …
So here it is the night before our posting date and I have not even started! Well, that’s not totally true, I did look through the blog I was assigned to before my trip, and I picked out some recipes I wanted to try. But with the rush before Christmas and the interesting turn of events in our lives this past couple weeks, I just completely forgot to shop for ingredients, and make it. So I am staying up late to make this and get it photographed and up … (but I DID swap out the crappy late night photo for some good ones in the morning!)
My assigned blog this month was My Catholic Kitchen. She is chronologically going through a list of 50 women game changers and featuring each of these women. I think that’s pretty cool. This one is a recipe from Food52.
In a rush to get this done, I am making cookies. Because I love chocolate, and oatmeal, and nuts, and this recipe has all of those. I modified it a bit, but not TOO much … I added the cinnamon because I love cinnamon with chocolate. These cookies are AMAZING!

those cookies are huge ! i love that it has cinnamon in it
I love cinnamon with chocolate too – I find if it’s added in by the manufacturer and so becomes completely “imbued” throughout the chocolate, it has the tendency of being too much, but adding it in yourself prior to baking (or drinking, for hot chocolate) it’s absolutely delicious! Fabulous looking cookies – very rocky and rugged!
I agree! The touch of cinnamon really affected the taste. You two both visited before I updated the pictures. Check out how the cookies look in the light! Much better. That bad photo was really bothering me …
Cinnamon and chocolate—love them. Hope you have a happy holiday!
We have a family recipe for Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies passed down from my grandma that I absolutely LOVE! This sounds like a great variation on that though!
