Dirty Bottom Oatmeal Cookies

I have been in surgery orientation for several days with some new friends that I just met. I thought I would sweeten up our Friday by making oatmeal cookies which is perfect for our early morning schedule and snacking on throughout the day. I don't know about you but I feel like you can eat oatmeal cookies anytime of the day, the oatmeal makes them a health food...right???
