Cinnamon Toffee Praline Oatmeal Cookies

The foods of the autumn season are so incredible.  But truthfully, all seasonal foods are awesome, it's just that the wait in between seasons makes me appreciate them all the more when their peak time of freshness and availability arrives.  All of the fresh apples and fruit at this time of year just leave me often overwhelmed with the dilemma of what to prepare next!

Since we're cookie monsters in this house, we decided to bake the apple oatmeal cookie recipe posted by Heather at 'girlichef' last week and that she kindly shared on my get-together 'Seasonal Saturday and Fresh Clean and Pure Friday'.  What a treat these are!  One problem though:  we (hubby and I) didn't have cinnamon chips or dried apples on hand as indicated in Heather's recipe.  So instead, we chose to make them with toffee, praline chips and without the apples.  Regardless of these changes, these little darlin's will make your autumnal heart sing with joy, just as they did ours!  Heather, they are just delicious; grazie tutto for your recipe!

Also if you happen to have too many of these cookies on hand that you can eat (there's only the two of us here, now that our kids are grown and gone!), they'll dry up just like any other cookie, but with these, you have another special autumn dessert ready to go:  crumbled toffee-praline oatmeal cookies sprinkled on top of fresh vanilla (or cinnamon) ice cream with warm caramel sauce drizzled on top.  Oh yea!
