One of my most favorite, all-time Holiday treats – Christmas Oatmeal Frosties!
My family feels it’s not really Christmas, unless we have my oatmeal frosties.
I’ve made my frosties for the Holidays already, but I believe I will have to make another batch before Christmas because for some reason, they seem to be disappearing quickly!
Now, this is the very first time I’ve ever shared this recipe…maybe even a bit reluctantly.
I’ve been making these cookies since 1967, when my sister, Adeline, and I made what became our annual repertoire of Holiday treats. I hadn’t ever done much baking at that time, and she was a wonderful teacher.
I believe my own family will now be enjoying this as one of their “needed Holiday treats” too.
How to Bake Christmas Oatmeal Frosties:
Be sure to use un-greased cookie sheets.
I use a non-stick silicone baking mat, but a regular un-greased cookie sheet is just as good.
