Description
In my first year as an Innkeeper at the Dragonfly Inn I began a tradition that became the hallmark of the bed & breakfast – bedside oatmeal cookies. While guests were out enjoying the evening, I would slip into their room with a plate of warm cookies, straight from the oven. This is my signature Oatmeal Cookie recipe.
