Yummalicious Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Do you ever walk into a really dirty room and have no idea where to even start, so you just stand there staring at it? That's been me with this blog lately. I love to write, I love the blogosphere, and I have so much to tell you all about, but I don't have a lot of time, and I'm not even sure where to start.

So instead, today I'm going to share a yummy cookie recipe. Sound good?

My hubs convinced me to make these the other day. His reasoning? "They'll give your supply a boost." He's right, by the way. Oatmeal does wonders for breastmilk production. You're welcome, nursing mommies.

So, the recipe.

Gather your ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 cups Quaker quick cooking oats

Get to mixing.

I use a hand mixer for this part. Throw the butter and sugar in first and mix well. Then add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.

Let me let you in on a busy mom secret. I don't sift my flour, and I don't mix my dry ingredients separately. There, I said it. Go ahead, dump in all of your dry ingredients now. Right on top of that buttery, sugary goodness. Try not to clutch your pearls too tightly, ladies. Now mix it alllll up with a fork. See, that wasn't too bad, was it?

Now drop those puppies onto your cookie sheet (or baking stone, which I lurve) and bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. The key is to take them out when they're a little underdone. Let them sit for a few minutes, and then transfer them onto a cooling rack.

Then, eat them the heck up. They're delicious, and they taste like fall. You're welcome!

Sorry, I don't have any pictures because the cookies didn't last long. Next time. :)
