As a kid I loved Quaker Instant Oatmeal.  I looked forward to trying all the different flavors.  But Maple and Brown Sugar was my favorite!

I still love the combo of hearty oats with pure maple syrup and rich brown sugar!!  Yummmmm!!!

This cookie brings those simple flavors together again.  I bring them to friends, teachers, our favorite bus-driver and parties. 🙂 They are well loved!  I hope you will enjoy the soft texture and rich flavors of Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies too!
