Lazy sunday cookies

Finally, a weekend without plans.

We've been waiting for this for so long!

So we gathered the blankets on the couch

and got comfortable...

Sometimes, it's nice to do nothing.

Confession #8

There's no place like home.

Dorothy couldn't have said it any better!

Taking advantage of our free weekend, 

we watched season 4 of The Big Bang Theory.

If you haven't ever taken the time to tune in,

please do me a favour and put it on your to-do list!

Guaranteed to make you laugh hard,
even when you're by yourself

Bonus: Your man will truly appreciate it.

And of course, the weekend wouldn't be complete

if I didn't whip up something sweet.

Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside.

Oatmeal Cookies

makes 2 dozen 

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup oats
• optional: 1 cup of raisins or nuts

1. Mix together the butter and the brown sugar until it's a creamy texture.
2. Beat in the egg and add the vanilla extract.
3. Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt.
4. Add in the oats until it's all blended together.
5. Optional: add in the raisins, dried cranberries, nuts or whatever you desire.
6. Lay parchment paper over baking sheets.
   
7. I used a cookie scoop to make sure the sizes were all the same. 
8. Bake at 325° for 15-20 minutes.
9. Allow cookies to cook before serving.
   

(In this case, I only added the raisins after I made the first batch of cookies since my husband despises the taste of raisins).

I tried this new recipe hoping that they were going to be extra chewy but it wasn't as satisfying as my regular recipe. Still good, but I think I would a little more butter next time.

Keeping it real,

the wife next door.
