Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
By Bob Dowgiallo, Wakefield Plantation
As a young boy growing up in Maryland, I spent many summer days with my Grandpa on the Wye River crabbing for Maryland Blue Crabs. After a long day on the river, we would journey back home with our bushels of crabs to find a plate of warm, freshly baked Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies that my grandma had made for us. Not only are these cookies nostalgic, they are delicious. I hope you enjoy!
