Oatmeal Mini Pieces Cookies

I found the best cookie recipe ever, ok maybe not the best, but the best in awhile.  I love to bake.  Of course if you bake, you must try.  I did more than try and taste these cookies. I ate 3 at one chance. If I don't freeze most of them, betweeen my husband and I we will eat them all.
