xaq_the_aereonHad a hankering for baking this morning, found a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies, and figured, "What the hey?"
Recipe as I jotted it down on my iPod:
3/4c sugar
1/4c brown sugar, packed
1/2c soft butter or margarine
1/2tsp vainilla
1 egg
3/4c flour
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp cinnamon
1/4tsp salt
1 1/2c oats
1/2c raisins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray or cover with parchment paper (I opted the latter)
Mix sugar, brown sugar, and butter; beat until light & fluffy
Add vanilla & egg, blend well
Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; blend well
Stir in raisins and oats
*Drop rounded tsp-fuls 2in apart on sheet
Bake 7-10min or until edges are light golden brown
Cool 1 minute, remove from sheet.
I marked that one line with an asterisk for a particular reason: I goofed on that point. The amount I made would have probably made about 3-4 dozen cookie-sized cookies had I gone with teaspoon-sized globs of dough...rather than tablespoon-sized.
The end result: 18 gargantuan bits of deliciousness.
Well, 15 at this point. :]
In other news, my TV (the one that spent the last 5 years as the living room TV in the old house) died 2 days ago; power supply fault.
Its replacement is working just fine, and as an added bonus, I found a beautiful little docking station for my iPod. Excellent sound quality, plus the color on it just blends in perfectly with the wood decor in here.

Tomorrow, I think I'll try my luck with some good ol'-fashioned chocolate chip cookies.
