Rainy Day

Victoria weather gave us such a tease... 2 straight weeks of no rain, bright sun and light breezes.  Now we're back to RAIN! It definitely limits what you can do with your day, so today I decided to bake some cookies.  It's a co-workers birthday and I'm getting to visit my boyfriend's sisters tomorrow, so I figured both occasions call for cookies (but then what occasion doesn't call for cookies?).

Because my co-worker is allergic to chocolate, I split my oatmeal cookie recipe into two batches.  Half with raisins, and half with pecans and chocolate chips!

Let's just say that my apartment smells delicious, and I'm sure I'll have some happy company tomorrow.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

2 C butter

2 C brown sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

3 C flour

2.5 C oatmeal

2 t baking soda

1 t salt

1 t cinnamon

2 C chocolate chips (or raisins, pecans, etc)

-cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs and vanilla

-add flour, oatmeal, soda, salt and cinnamon

-mix in chocolate chips, and bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes

-enjoy!

Well, I should be off to accomplish something on this rainy day. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
