July 31, always a tough day

This is the day that I have to really face the fact that soon we will be back in school and freedom will be nothing more than a memory.

Summers go so fast!

On to something more productive though. . .today I have a little cookie recipe for you because, well, cookies are good.  Who needs another reason?

Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
1 2/3 cups (10 oz pkg) HERSHEY’S Cinnamon Chips
3/4 cup raisins

Heat oven to 350.  Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in bowl until creamy.   Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.  Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter mixture, beating well.  Stir in oats, cinnamon chips and raisins (batter will be stiff).  Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. 

Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Makes about 4 dozen.
