A domestic goddess I'm not.
I googled a recipe. There are a lot of variations for oatmeal cookies, but I picked what seemed to be a traditional one with just some extras items popped in for interest. We had all of the ingredients except for a couple of minor things. No biggy.
I remembered to take a couple of pictures at some point in the process. The photo below shows the first batch taken hot from the oven. We didn't have any raisins so I used white chocolate chips. The cookies were sweeter than I had anticipated. They were good. They were rich, but just a smidgeon too sweet for my preferences.
I had been thinking about this 'project' all day long and it wasn't until last night that I decided to do it. I slapped the ingredients together, made sure the oven was fully heated, and most importantly I removed the cookies from the oven while they still looked a little under done. (That's the well known secret for soft cookies. Non-bakers may not know this.) By the time I reached the last of the dough I was sleepy so I just wanted to be done with it so I could go to bed. None of the cookies burned but the best part was that I only had one cookie. Can you guess which one?

ohhhhhh I'm hungry and they look delicious. Wow, it's been that long since you've baked...
My one son up until he moved out a few months ago, always made cookies and then would make one big one at the end for himself....
I prefer oatmeal over chocolate chip cookies...but the white chocolate sounds kind of good.
I try to avoid cooking/baking myself. As for cookies, I perfer the ones where you break the squares apart and bake. Not exactly scratch, but yummy never the less.
It wouldn't have been the one on the left would it? :) I'm surprised the kids let you get that one. Baking, when you feel in the mood, is quite a satisfying pastime. But you have to be in the mood. Well done, you!
That is one big Oatmeal cookie.
