Hi, and happy Monday to you all.
Today it was a rainy day and I love every minute of it, Rainy days are the perfect day to bake cookies.
These smarties cookies are so delicious, they are chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside, the addition of dark chocolate, smarties and oatmeal make these irresistible.
These cookies are especially loved by children and are great for any birthday party.
