Orange Ginger Oatmeal Crisps

A little crispy, a little chewy and laced with ginger and orange. Meet my newest cookie obsession – Orange Ginger Oatmeal Crisps.

I know, it’ summer, so why do I have cookies on the blog? Three reasons.

#1 It is never the wrong time of year for cookies IMO.

#2 My youngest is home from college for the summer. Which means cookies.

Lots and lots of cookies. Baking cookies like these Orange Ginger Oatmeal Crisps during the summer is a long standing tradition in my house. Copious amounts of cookies are standard fare for every vacation – and yes, I have packed and taken cookies on planes, boats and  trains – we are that serious about cookies in this family!

#3 –  despite a pretty vast repertoire of chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, chocolate malted and Chocolate and Orange Icebox cookies,  I am always looking for new ones, like these Orange Ginger Oatmeal Crisps.

Which brings me to…

#4 a cookie that can be made in one bowl, without a mixer and from things I always have on hand?  Yesssssss!!

Which, dear readers, is why I have this cookie on the blog today. Because in addition to all the above, these lovely little Orange  Ginger Oatmeal Crisps go beautifully with a little bowl of summer ice cream or sorbet, or fresh berries, or …

Just by their little ole selves on a plate.

Simple, easy, delicious and versatile… and perfect for packing on a plane, boat or train.
