I Want To Marry You Cookies

I am not a big cookie eater, but I love to bake.  That being said,  I found this recipe on my beloved Pinterest.  They were soooooo good, my family (excluding my finicky daughter who has an aversion to nuts in her cookies, can't win them all) had to have more so I decided to share the recipe.  The name is so cute but I don't tell people unless I have to because it's as weird as it is cute.  Now that I am done rambling.  Without further a due ....................

The butter and sugar mixture.  I melted the butter in the microwave because who seriously has the time to watch it on the stovetop? It took a minute(literally) and I didn't have to worry about it burning.

Incorporating the oatmeal and flour mixture, the eggs and vanilla are in there already.

I mixed it all by hand.  I could have used my KitchenAid but I haven't been to the gym a

in a while so this is my workout for the day.  See... baking is healthy.

Now for the good stuff!!!

Chopping my pecans.  Also a calorie burner.  I could have bought them chopped but went the extra mile instead (Since I haven't run one in a very long time).

All the ingredients are in, now I just have to mix them.  With my really buff arms.

Hello black mat, I would like to introduce you to a taste of heaven.

Yummy!!!!

Enjoy!!!
