I have so many things swirling around in my head which I want to post about, but can't seem to find a good chunk of time to sit down and write. There are so many things going on in this already busy holiday time of year! I made some oatmeal scotchy cookies last week...they came out pretty good. I tweaked a couple different recipes, and made my own. Here's the "secret recipe".

1/2 pound (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups Quaker Oats, uncooked
1-1/2 cups butterscotch chips

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat margarine and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Add oats and chips; mix well.
2. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown (and not dough-y in the middle). Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.

I think maybe I should starte a second blog for recipes I try out. I like cooking and baking...and it would be a good way to keep track of what turned out tasty.

p.s. I didn't take this picture, either...sadly. I can't find my card reader for my computer...and I'm too lazy to hunt for it right now. I can't get wireless on the laptop which has one built in, because I haven't bothered to set up the wireless router yet.
