- COOKIES AND HONEYMOONERS

This morning I made the yummiest oatmeal raisin cookies for Break the Fast at church. I got the recipe from Peggy at work. Basically it's the recipe off the Quaker Oats box except that you substitute almond granola for 1/2 of the oats. YUM! Here's the recipe:

PEGGY'S OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups granola w/almonds
1 cup raisins

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Stir in oats and raisins; mix well. Drop with small cookie scoop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 10 to 12 minuts or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Alyssa and Alax came over after church to show us their honeymoon photos. They got home last night. They were tan and looking pretty rested after their stay in Cabo. We're sure glad they made it home safe and sound since things are pretty precarious in Mexico right now.
