I made Chocolate Cookies last week and they disappeared so quickly, even though I packaged 1/2 of them up & put them in the freezer.. Dear Husband found them & WE ate almost every one. I need to take some with me to the Beach next week.. So Since the weather is SNOW I decided to make some more today, including his favorite "Oatmeal Raisin"
(But instead of making just those I made another batch of My favorite the chocolate chip.. )Sneaky huh? I must find a better hiding place for these.)
Oatmeal raisin sounded kinda boring to me so I added in place of the raisins dried cherries & dried cranberries with a few roasted macadamia nuts tossed in... Yummy!

I love the changes you made to this Oatmeal Cookie recipe ~ I like adding dried cranberries to chocolate chip cookies too :)
ReplyDeleteLabel a container in the freezer - Liver. Then hide your cookies in there. It worked when my kids were growing up. They wouldn't touch a container of liver with a ten foot pool!
