Oatmeal Cookies - Leonard’s


These are named after our childhood friend Leonard of Hollywood.
He got the recipe from Beachball.
He drove us crazy and we loved him - he'd come over & annoy us, we'd send him home. We'd get bored, we'd call him up & invite him over. Sometimes 4 or 5 times in the same day!
We miss you Leonard, you died too young.

These cookies are a fitting memorial (?)... sorta.
They are light & buttery & practically melt in your mouth.
And INCREDIBLY EASY - just like Leonard....
