AJ’s Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies

This recipe makes a large batch of cookies.  Makes 4 dozen. While this is not a BBQ Recipe - it is one of my family’s favorites and is a great dessert after a Brother Mel’s Southern Style BBQ Dinner or Cookout. The dough freezes well for up to 3 months If you only want to bake a few at a time.
