Oatmeal 'bastard' Cookies

People talking
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.

these were tasty and different.. very addicting. i cut back on the sugar since the other poster said they were too sweet. and they were great. with the red hots in them it makes them very sweet.. i cant say i'd never want another oatmeal cookie with raisons or chocolate. but this was a nice change and made fun valentines day treats. i didnt need to flatten mine AT ALL as they spread perfectly. thanks for a fun idea.Reply

A little too sweet for me, kind of like strawberry pie without rhubarb, but kids might like it.Reply
