Okay, so tomorrow for the fourth I'm going with my sister and her fiance to a friends place for a small party. So there's going to be food people are bringing, and I ended up making oatmeal scotchies which are apparently not easy to make. The first pan didn't turn out so good..they were a dark brown but they were not burnt. Not only that, but they were some of the flatest cookies I have ever seen. So after that pan, my mom is helping me. She put in more oats into the dough and that made it so it wasn't too moist. The second pan came out better but they were still flat looking, and so did the third but they were better that time too! Still flat, but hey.. So my mom says she's impressed though because the cookies are hard to make and it was my first time making them. But the important thing is they taste how they should. 3nodding
Also, my mom thinks because of the humidity that's why the cookies didn't turn out how they should have.

They are good! I found a recipe online that's the same as the one I used, so...enjoy!
