Cocoa Oatmeal Cookies

Just a yummy cookie to post up for your Monday morning enjoyment.

 Kind of an odd Monday for me.  I almost never work Mondays but today I am.  Feels so strange, and I'll miss the beginning of Dancing With the Stars.  

I'll just eat another cookie and try not to whine about it.

These were fudgey and yummy. I always enjoy the combination of chocolate and oatmeal.  I think if I made them again I would add a touch more sugar.  

Here's the recipe as found at Cheat Day Cafe:
