the monday update

let's see...what do i have to update? not much. i don't have many pictures because most of them will be posted tomorrow for project life tuesday.
i did make the most wonderful chocolate chip oatmeal cookies the other day. i found the recipe on allrecipes.com and have made them twice. they stay nice and chewy for a long time.

here's the recipe:

1 c. butter. softened
1 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts (optional)

1. prehead oven to 325
2. cream butter and both sugars until smooth. beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. combine flour, soda and salt. stir into creamed mixture until just blended. mix in oats and chocolate chips. drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
3. bake for 12 minutes (or longer). cool on sheet for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack.
4. enjoy!
