CoOkIE AdDicTiOn

I think it's genetically inherited... this cookie addiction we seem to have at our house. Even Allie at 13 months can't get enough. :)

YUMMY. This dough is just as good as it looks... I added extra M&M's of course... Lots of oatmeal- so healthy for you. ;-)

I think Colby's record was 4-5 cookies. (Am I a bad mom?!? Ha) I have posted this recipe before but can't resist posting it again...

We had a fun night of delivering cookies to neighbors and friends- the kids all got to choose one family who they thought needed or would appreciate them. It was a perfect night weatherwise- so gorgeous- we really enjoyed getting out walking and chatting with neighbors!

Bake some up today! Your children, husband, and neighbors will thank you.

Cowgirl Cookies

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup & leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup m&ms
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 – 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Add

1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup butter (melted slightly in the microwave)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated.

Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. I got about 26-28 cookies out of these.
