Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Butter Pecan Cookies. With the Recipe!

Most of us work for money so we can buy food.

The other day I wrote on Facebook - "I'm feeling the summer blues. For today we are accepting chocolate chip cookies (Or anything yummy) as payment for photo related work. Inquire within."

While everyone thought I was joking I got this reply  - "If you are serious, I will bake you milchig pecan chocolate chip cookies. I can also make you home made ice cream - though that can't be delivered until tomorrow. Please advise :)"

As a side note, this mother of 4 was my school tutor when I was 10 years old back in Montreal. (Isn't that crazy?)

The cookies we made and tasted were soooo delicious and yummy, I had to ask if I can share the secret recipe with you guys. And she said "yes!"

Have a good look at the fun pictures and try out the recipe, let me know how yummy they are if you get to try baking them!
