Recipe by W. Pooh

These awesome oatmeal cookies are made with red hot cinnamon hearts candy (also known as cinnamon imperial hearts). Far better than average oatmeal raisin cookies. My friends call them 'bastard' cookies because of the spicy flavor of the candy. You'll never want to eat another oatmeal raisin cookie again.
