yum...cookies

I should be studying but I made these amazing cookies.  I left out about a quarter a cup of the white sugar.  It didn't hurt the recipe at all!

Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Yields 18 large cookies

1 1/2 cups FLOUR
1/2 teaspoon SALT
1/2 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
8 ounces (2 sticks) UNSALTED BUTTER, softened
1 cup LIGHT BROWN SUGAR, packed
1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
2 large EGGS
3 cups OATS
1 1/2 cups CHOCOLATE CHIPS

1. Preaheat oven to 350 degrees, and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk flour, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, by hand or by mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars and beat the mixture until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time.

4. Stir dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.

5. Place dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets by large spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each), leaving at least 2 inches between.

6. Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Slide cookies (on parchment) onto cooling rack. Let cool, and store in airtight container.

Advertiser and PopSugar.com

I (shame on me) was recently perusing the "articles" on PopSugar.com and stumbled upon the Northwestern Memorial Hospital logo. WOW. I suppose PopSugar is legitimate since this hospital has a freakin ad on it.

recipe to sweet mandy B's cupcake and frosting

Heard that the icing is super sweet. Know someone who had to add an extra stick of butter to make it less sweet.

Great day to be out!!!

So, I can't stand watching baseball on TV.  Too dull.  But I really like going to the actual game.  

Loved Georgie's onesey:  "It's not the diaper that stinks...It's the CUBS!"

Ha!
