Fun fact… I LOVE cooking.
I'm not going to brag and say I'm the best, (because i'm not), but I do enjoy it. And I'm not food-wise or ingredient-wise enough to just throw stuff together and know that it will taste good…but hand me a recipe and boy-oh-boy I will take that sucker down!
As a new wife, I get to cook for my sweet husband whenever I want, which also means, I get to learn a lot!! Whether it's a treat or dinner, I've decided that (at least for the month of April) I'm gonna start sharing some old recipes that I love, and the new ones that I've learned to love!

This particular recipe came from my boss a few years ago. He brought them in to work, and after one bite, I fell in love. I asked for the recipe so he grabbed a piece of receipt paper and scribbled it down. Call me sexist, but I was wildly impressed that a MAN not only baked amazing cookies, but had the recipe memorized. I used that scribbled recipe forever until my mom typed it up nice and clear. She renamed them "Lexi Loo's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies", but since technically it's not really mine, I will give recipe ownership back:
