It was cookie day, and time for a change. I know the kids LOVE chocolate chip...but honestly ~~I'm so tired of making chocolate chip cookies I find myself making them in my sleep.
So today...a compromise ~ Oatmeal cookies, but I did throw in a few chocolate chips.
Oatmeal cookies are my favorite...so most of these are going in MY cookie jar. HaHa
Wish you were here....we'd sit on the balcony, listen to the birds sing, and have a cookie or two.....or three.
Throw in some dried cranberries and they are even better. :) You should try different recipes each week and when you don't want to try something new, you go with the old standby ... chocolate chip. HA! Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have used dried cranberries but didn't have any in stock. I have done sugar cookies. Afraid to do peanut butter, as so many kids have allergies to nuts.
DeleteI haven't had an oatmeal cookie in years and they are MY favorite! I used to use the recipe on the Quaker Oats box. What one do you use??
ReplyDeleteYep, the the recipe I use, I just cut the butter down to 1 1/2 cubes instead of two. The dough is a little stiffer, but they don't spread out and I like that, as you can see from the picture.
DeleteYou are such a great "Cookie Lady".
ReplyDeleteI think you will teach the kiddos to appreciate all kinds of cookies.
I would love to be there to have a cookie or two...or three with you.
You are right...they would probably eat any thing I handed out. HaHa. We're make some in Tahoe!!
DeleteWish I were there, too. Oatmeal is my favorite, too! ;) I know those kiddos will LOVE them! blessings and hugs ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI think next time I'll add the dried cranberries.
DeleteThe children in the complex bring me a lot of joy with their smiles and "thank you"
I was just describing your tree house balcony to John. I'd love to join you for a cookie. Mama's favorite was oatmeal; they always remind me of her. Wishing you a very nice evening, Wanda.
ReplyDeleteWe spend so many hours there. Especially in the mornings. Love to have my coffee there and my reading. Have a great day...Blessings and Hugs
Deleteyummo! The addition of chocolate chips sounds great,, I love oatmeal cookies too, I make them often, too often, I'm sure what ever cookies yu make the recipients will love them, just as they love you!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking oatmeal cookies have to be better for you....right..I mean isn't oatmeal good for you. HaHa
DeleteI like the different variety everyone is suggesting.
And pumpkin chocolate chip... Those children are so blessed!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the different idea for cookies I'm getting. They are sweet kids, and very respectful and always say thank you.
DeleteSuch a warm invitation! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
I sure wish we could make it happen.
DeleteBlessings and hugs.
Yum! I love just a few butterscotch chips in my oatmeal cookies! Or raisins.
ReplyDeleteI baked cookies today, too! 5 dozen lemon sugar cookies. I'll send some to work with the mister and take some to the auction for my coworkers. We have new neighbors that I need to go meet, too, so I think they will get a dozen. So fun. It was a good day to bake here...rained all day and my jeep is in the shop!
You know you are my role model. I bet the Mister's co-workers love when you send goodies. And how nice to take them to auction. You will make a friend when you take them to a new neighbor. I haven't been to your blog....do you have pictures??
DeleteYummy oatmeal - one of my favorites. I am climbing up the ladder to your treehouse right now!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I was thinking? I know you love to give and expect nothing in return... but I was thinking it might be fun to ask the kids to draw something for you the next cookie day - only if they want to. Could be of a cookie, or them eating a cookie, or a sketch of you and your cookie sign. I bet you would get some very dear drawings and you might occasionally attach them to the cookie sign!
I love your idea, and I will certainly do that. You know, I thought I heard someone climbing up the tree house...next time come on in....HaHa.
DeleteMy favorite too, when I was in the Air Force my Mom would make oatmeal raisin cookies and send them to me in a care package. I dont know how she got them to stay so moist and good.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than getting a box when you are in the Service. Or in college. HaHa... Kaleb loves getting his box of goodies.
DeleteThese are one of my favourite cookies! Just stopping by to say sorry for the loss of Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out real nice and moist. I can't stay out of the Cookie Jar....
DeleteThanks you for your comment for Elizabeth... I will miss her.
Not a fan of oatmeal, but your do look good.
ReplyDeleteOK Janet...you can have the regular chocolate chip cookies...I'll eat the oatmeal. Got a deal? HaHa
DeleteNow, why didn't I think of that? That sounds delish and I'm going to do that! Did you leave out the raisins?
ReplyDeleteI did leave out the raisins. If they were not for the kids, I would have added some pecan pieces to the mix.
