To personalize it a bit, Andrew went through his old photos and we copied this one then glued it on the container. It's an old pix of his dad on a ferry and his mom put one of those conversation stickers above the guy next to his dad-- looks like he's not feeling too good. The sticker says, "Don't bother me now!" and then I wrote underneath: I'm tossing my cookies! I've got a sick sense of humor, I know! :o)
Below the picture, I wrote the ingredients: Dash of kisses, Lots of Hugs, Little bit of this, Little bit of that. Calories: Absolutely zero & guilt free!
Good to the last crumb! Yum yum!
What are you looking under here for? Nothing to see- move along!

I had fun drawing on this and he got a good laugh out of it when he took it out of the bag. I thought it was a good way to recycle a perfectly nice container and I have saved the other oatmeal containers for future gifts. Christmas is around the corner, so I can use them for the holiday goodies I like to make and give as gifts. Just thought I'd share the idea.

Great Idea! I LOVE cookies I've never made oatmeal/apple, they sound yummy!
Jenny!!!! Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to a fantastic friend I met in High School. I'm so glad we've been friends ever since! Thanks for all the long talks when we do chat! :) HUGS!!!!
Johnna-- Oatmeal-apple is easy.. follow your usual oatmeal cookie recipe and instead of raisins, use dried apples. I like to dry apples in the dehydrator two ways-- thin and crispy like chips, or thick and chewy like raisins. I take the thick and chewy ones, chop them up a little bit and throw it in the cookie dough then bake as usual. Yummy!
Juli-- Thanks sweetie! As I recall, your birthday is just around the corner, too.. Sept 28th right??? Can you believe it's been 23 years since we met? Man oh man! that's a long time! :o) Glad we've kept in touch all these years! xo
