Oatmeal MM Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Ellen  PHOTO BY: Tricia 

"This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. The almond extract gives the cookie a unique flavor that makes them, in my opinion, a little better than the rest. Because I like these cookies so much, I usually make them twice their normal size."
