Allright, so I finally did it-I made that Oatmeal Raisin cookie that I've been meaning to get around to. I must say that my baking skills are coming together rather nicely. Anyways, the recipe came out pretty good if I say so myself. I stumbled onto the recipe at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oatmeal-raisin-cookies-i/. Go check them out.
I usually prefer a light desert after and this, I think, fits the bill quite nicely. While cooking may not be perceived as a real macho activity like hunting or bass fishing, it takes a great deal of work to create pizzas, breads,and cookies etc., from scratch. It's not as cool as climbing Mt Everest but I can only do what I do.
I hope the folks at allrecipes are cool with me reprinting their excellent recipe.
