*Yes, this is sarcasm. My mother deserves a helluva lot more than I can give. But she'll have to settle for a batch of oatmeal banana chocolate chip cookies this year.

The missing connection between "Magdalena" and "REV 22:20"? I'll ask Mr Keenan.

The recipe is a modification I made of an Alton Brown recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies. I can send you a copy if you want.
