One of my favorite cookies in the world are Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I love ’em! But for some reason I tend to think about making them in the fall. I think it has something to do with comfort food, and to me, oatmeal raisin cookies are the ultimate comfort food! But today, I thought you might enjoy a little change so I traded out the raisins for some nice, creamy, caramel bits! I think you are going to enjoy this tasty combination! I also drizzled some fall colors over these cookies to help you celebrate the spirit of the season!!

Add caramel bits and mix together with a spoon and spatula.
Place rounded tablespoons of dough onto your cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
