Lucky you. Ginger! My neighbor waits for me to bake them and give her some! LOLOL These do sound wonderful. Thanks!

My favorite came from Katie. Chocolate Chip Cookies 1/2 cup rolled oats 2-1/4 cup AP flour 1-1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup butter softened 3/4 cup brown sugar packed 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1-1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp lemon juice 2 eggs 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (I prefer Ghirardelli bittersweet) 1-1/2 cup chopped walnuts Grind oats in food processor or blender until fine (I actually skip this step). Combine the oats with the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice. Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix by hand until the ingredeints are well blended. For the best results, chill the dough overnight in the refrigerator before baking the cookies. Spoon rounded 1/4 cup portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet Place the scoops about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 350 oven for 16-28 minutes or until cookies are light brown and soft in the middle. I actually make the cookies smaller and cook them about 13 minutes, but actually, the length of cooking time is pretty well determined by your oven.

Jessy, what a memory you have!! That's a great idea.... coursely chop them and use them in cookies. Yum! Vicky, I'm glad you like them. Never thought of using pecans, but why not? Three and a half cups of nuts is about right if you want to stretch the recipe and still get a good coating on the nuts.

Remember this meme? Maybe using the Suave lotion, which is apparently basically chocolate, on my skin is as bad for my weight as eating chocolate?
