Minoo shared two recipes in the South Arm Community Kitchen. One of the recipe is Oatmeal Cookies. For once, I thought I already have this recipe in chowtimes and I did not take photos of the individual steps. However, when I tried to look up for the recipe on chowtimes the next day, I found out that I had mistaken it for a different recipe which was Oatmeal, Raisin and Chocolate Chips Cookies that I had blogged before. So, here is the recipe without the steps in photos.

The Oatmeal Cookies are crispy which I like. You may substitute the currants with other dried fruit like raisins, dried sweetened cranberries, dried blueberries, etc. It has to be dried fruit as fresh or frozen fruit has too much liquid in them that will make the cookies soggy.

This cookies are great for after school snack. What is better than cookies with milk.
