I am making these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies to participate in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. The Cookie Swap is in its second year and helps raise money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer, which claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease. I was assigned three food bloggers and made one dozen cookies for each of them. In return, I received three different boxes of cookies from other bloggers.
I wanted to make a cookie that was a spin on a traditional cookie. This Cooking Light recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies was perfect: Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, AND Pecans?! How delicious does that sound?!
