Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Today's cookies help me accomplish two different goals.

1.) Find a great CHEWY oatmeal cookie recipe for husband. Oatmeal cookies are his favorite, particularly the chewy kind. I've tried out several recipes in the past but they haven't met with success.

2.) Deliver baked goods to our new neighbors. We live in a good Southern neighborhood, which means you are honorably obliged to introduce yourself to new neighbors, and most often it is done with baked goods and  phone numbers in hand.

This is how we were greeted almost four years ago when we moved in. My how time flies. Out of the seven places we've lived in 12 years time, this place is our favorite and the easiest to really feel at home with great friends and neighbors. It's the longest we've lived anywhere. And honestly I'm quite happy about it. I think southern living suits me.

I discovered a blog that has quickly become a favorite. Two Peas & Their Pod. The recipes look fantabulous! And from the success I've had with these oatmeal cookies I'll definitely be back to try out other recipes.
