Cookies











This was a baking day for me. Stephany at Proceed with Caution chose the recipe for our baking group TWD. We made yummy Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters. This was a simple cookie batter with lots of opportunities to add your own favorites. I love having my Kitchen Aide back to mix up quick batches of cookies. I don't know how I lived without it for 3 years. The only change I made was by decreasing the amount of cinnamon that went into these. Instead of 2 tsp, I added 1. I also added raisins because my kids love chocolate covered raisins. These are a hearty cookie that will travel well in the lunch box. I did end up freezing part of the dough for a second batch of cookies at a later date. They always taste best straight out of the oven with a tall glass of milk. The kids helped me sample these and we all decided this is a great recipe that we will be making again.

Great job, Susy! Next time I will decrease the cinnamon as well...it was a little overpowering in my cookies, I couldn't even taste the nutmeg at all! In response to your "chocolate" question from your box :), they came from Whole Foods! Do you have one near you?

This past year has been a year of change. We moved from a huge running community to an area that does not have the biking and running trails...
