I've had a hankering for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for weeks now. I had just decided to bake them when I caught that nasty bug, but now I've finally gotten around to baking!
I may possibly have baked cookies instead of making dinner. *cough* It's ok, though, Zorro made some fried eggs and we ate that. In the mean time, I debuted my bourbon vanilla:

And while it
definitely had a stronger smell than vanilla made with vodka or bought from the store, I think the finished cookie tasted about the same--which is understandable, when you're trying to top perfection.

My cookie recipe is from an old Better Homes and Garden's children's cook book. The pages are a little stiff with years of cookie-doughed fingers turning them. I think we made only two or three recipes in the entire cookbook, but we made them routinely!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a good way to defeat a Monday, don't you think?

These look soooo good! I love chocolate chip oatmeal, but unfortunately my dear hubby won't eat anything with oatmeal it them - oh well!
ReplyDeleteThat bourbon vanilla sounds pretty good actually!

Hi, Josie! No oatmeal? That's so sad! I've heard so much about bourbon vanilla changing the flavor of baked goods that I think I was expecting more out of it. But it _does_ smell good!
