Sue's Oatmeal Macadamia Nut Cookies image

This is an old family recipe that I 'tweaked' by adding macadamia nuts. I bake about 1,000 of these every year for our St Joseph Garden Tour and I don't even have any crumbs left.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I also like to add a handful of raisins or chocolate chips to the batter.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out perfectly.

I love the combination of flavors in these cookies. The oatmeal gives them a chewy texture, the macadamia nuts add a nice crunch, and the cinnamon and nutmeg give them a warm, spicy flavor.

My cookies turned out great! They were chewy and had a nice nutty flavor. I used chopped walnuts instead of macadamia nuts because that's what I had on hand, and they worked just fine.
