Let's Bake Some Homemade Cookies!

Good Morning! 

I hope you are having a beautiful Wednesday.

Here in Alabama, it's a sunny day, but very cold outside!

I would imagine that it's cold where you are too. 

On days like this, I would love to wrap up in a warm blanket and sip a hot drink all safe and 

snug at home. 

Days like this make me want to stay home and bake! 

 What a great day to stay in and bake 

HOMEMADE COOKIES!  

Here's a couple of cookie recipes that my family loves...

 OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

This recipe was given to me a long time ago when I taught a 3 year old preschool class at a

church preschool.  At the time, Ashley was only 4 years old!! 

 One of the mothers brought these for a snack one day and she was kind 

enough to share the recipe with me! 

 I've been making them ever since! 

Here's what you will need...

1 Cup Of Self Rising Flour

1 Cup Of Quick Cooking Rolled Oats

1/2 Cup Of Raisins

1/4 Cup Of Melted Butter

1/4 Cup Of Melted Shortening

1/2 Cup Of White Sugar

1/4 Cup Of Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1 Teaspoon Of Vanilla

2 Tablespoons Of Milk  

Speaking of Oatmeal...

My sweet sister-in-law, Tammy, gave me this pretty little container to keep 

my oats in! 

I just love it!!

Thank you Tammy! <3

I also wanted to share a handy kitchen tool that I absolutely LOVE having in my 

kitchen!

 It's a mess free measuring cup!

I think I've shared this with you before, but you just need to hear it again! This is a perfect 

solution to measuring out shortening or peanut butter!  You fill your ingredient to the proper

lined measurement and then push the bottom of the cup to "pop out" the ingredient, then

 swipe the excess from the top of the cup! So easy and so clean!! 

You can order those from Pampered Chef! :)

Okay, okay, back to the recipe!

Now, mix all of the ingredients at once in a bowl until blended.

Once the ingredients are all mixed together, drop your cookie dough about 2 inches apart

 onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes! 

Then, cool and enjoy!! 

These are so good!
