Gabriel “ Daddy… you want to know how they make milk? It is disgusting but they take a cow while it is alive and they squeeze them into a bucket… that’s how they make milk!”
Oatmeal cookies to me are one of the easiest cookies to make.. with just a few ingredients that you already have in your pantry you can have a wholesome snack for the bottomless pits in your house..
I don’t usually put pecans in my cookies because.. well they are a small fortune. I had come across some so I thought instead of hoarding them like I usually do with tasty little morsels I thought I should use them up before they go rancid, I love cranberries and I did hoard some of them back from the last Costco trip so I was ready to make oatmeal cookies!
Just the sight of these ingredients I get all giddy about cooking..
You know the drill.. cream your butter and sugars together…
Add your eggs…
And your flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda
I love seeing cranberries in anything..
Add your oatmeal and then set in the fridge for a hour or so to set your butter back up.
Roll out to about 2” balls and bake for 15 mins until golden brown
As soon as your husband comes home hand him some milk and cookies…
Tip:
In order for your cookies not to spread during baking don’t put cookie dough on hot baking sheet.. and unless you have more than two baking pans ( or hands to wash the bowls and pans created by cooking ) or want to wait for the pan to cook, instead flip over and run cold water over bottom of sheet.. it will cool your pans instantly.
