About
And the blue ribbon goes to the odds-on favorite, the Grand Prize Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! Yes, it's no surprise, but neither is how good they taste! The cookies have the tender texture, the richness, and the smoky sweetness of butter and brown sugar, with loads and loads of melty chocolate chips and crunchy nuts. Even the oats contribute to this delectable dessert by adding heartiness and more surface area for the sweetness to grab onto as it makes its way to your tastebuds! Place Grand Prize Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies next to a prize hog at the county fair and watch as people go hog-wild for them!
