Wow...I have been a bad blogger lately. And things have been so crazy that I'm quite confused about the days. I finally got a moment to sit down w/my google reader and saw a TWD post. My thought was "Oh yeah, that's tomorrow...I guess I could go ahead and schedule my post so it will be up first thing in the morning..." Then I kept scrolling through reader and saw two more TWD posts--oh crap! Today
IS Tuesday! So here, even though I baked the cookies five whole days in advance, I am posting towards the end of the day.
I made these cookies Friday evening when several of my sweet Bible study girls came to hang out and watch movies :). They are very much like a brownie in cookie form, and were great warm from the oven, but I must say that I wasn't sure about the oatmeal in them. I felt kinda like the oatmeal was an add-in like chocolate chips...but to me oatmeal isn't quite special enough to be the special addition to a cookie. I think maybe I would have liked them better w/more oatmeal or w/chocolate chips instead. We ate some and then I sent the rest on w/my sister to a friend from high school who has recently had a loss in his family. I think chocolate cookies are perfect for sad hearts!
For the recipe you can either flip to page 75 of Baking from My Home to Yours (which I
know you bought after seeing all the TWD posts right? right? well, you should!) Or you can head over to Caroline & Claire's blog:
Bake with Us where they posted the recipe.
Oh yeah, and when I was really sick a few weeks ago, I actually did make the Great Grains muffins picked by Christine of
Happy Tummy, but I never got around to posting about them--or eating all of them for that matter. Made them on Feb. 1 and took this picture of the remaining muffins yesterday (didn't finish them--they went in the trash after their photo shoot). They were ok, but I left them completely plain b/c hubs doesn't do fruit or nuts but likes muffins, but then they were too plain. Oh well...
Nice of you to share the cookies. They weren't my favorite either. I had higher hopes for them, but I was more than happy to share them anyway.
ReplyDeleteSharing is one of my favourite things about baking. It's nice to have a hobby that others can benefit from. Thanks for baking with us this week.
ReplyDeleteLovely muffins. Could you please send me an e-mail? iahawk89 at comcast dot net. It's about the recipe rotation.
