And since January is National Oatmeal Month, you have a great excuse to make this easy cookie recipe.

The cookies taste like they are made from scratch, but the recipe starts with a simple cookie mix so they’re easy to throw together. And get this: you don’t need to grease the cookie sheets, so you save on clean up, too.

The recipe comes to The Elf from Fran Woodruff of Homewood, Alabama. Thank you, Fran! 

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 11-12 minutes
