so I add chocolate to everything

I am a bit of an oatmeal fan. And by a bit I mean could probably eat it every day.

And this translates into a love of oatmeal cookies in all variations. I had previously found an oatmeal cookie recipe that I've made here before (sans raisins) and was going to make it again last Thursday. Thursdays are my day off and I love being able to bake on those days.

As I was looking up the recipe again, I came across some recipes for brownie oatmeal cookies. I was going to make those but then realized I didn't have some of the necessary ingredients.

So.....I just used the original oatmeal recipe and decided to dump in 2/3 cup of cocoa powder.

And this picture speaks to how this was most certainly a good move...


I then added in the oats. Because oats make everything healthier. Combating the chocolate to some extent at least :-) Baking in our new oven- hurrah!
Finished and proving themselves to be addictive:
So addictive that I packed them up and took them with me to the mission center the next day so that my students could consume them instead of me. No one needs over a dozen chocolate oatmeal cookies.

And we all happily munched on these as we watched Wall-E and studied prepositions on a Friday afternoon.
