My brother and I made these from Joy Food Sunshine for my father’s birthday party. It is a recipe that ranks high in Google search results and for good reason. The original website has a useful scaling tool too. One recommendation I’ll second is using parchment paper so you can...
National ice cream chain with several north county locations including one in downtown Oceanside. There can sometimes be quite a wait but it’s worth it. Lots of flavors and decent portions.

We made this delicious recipe from Half Baked Harvest and loved it. The cookies are large so only a couple is enough to be satisfied. The first time we made these, we had to run to the store to get the right kind of oats but it was worth it....
