Autumn Is For Baking - Chocolate Lover's Oatmeal Delight Cookies

 As soon as it begins to get chilly at night - my mind goes to food. In winter we tend to be indoors more and the house just smells better when there is the aroma of food. LOL

You are going to love these. They are so simple to make.  They are made from scratch so you probably have all the ingredients in the pantry already.
