Life Changing Oatmeal Scotchies Recipe

Now I cannot guarantee that these cookies will change your life, I can only speak from my own experience, which is These are the best cookies I have ever had! Seriously, I make these cookies all the time and they never last very long. J.O. described this batch as tasting like love and sugar. I will take it. But seriously they are caramely,chewy, perfectly spiced slices of heaven.

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen's thick, chewy oatmeal cookies.
