So today as I was walking home from soccer practice, I smelled oatmeal cookies. I could just imagine the little darlings cooling on a cooling rack next to a window somewhere, and I wanted them! I wanted them so badly! I could smell the cinnamon, taste the vanilla, feel the joy as I bit into a little piece of heaven!!
(sorry if I am making you hungry)
So what did I do? I quickly did my homework and preceded to accumulate all the ingredients that were needed. But I was faced with a delema, I did not have enough oatmeal for a batch. The most essential ingredient!
The cans looked so empty....I was just about to give up when the most engenious plan came to mind; make a half-batch.
So with....
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
(I forgot the 1/4 cup granulated sugar)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 and 1/4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not powder! I almost made that mistake)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
and of course 1.5 cups oatmeal
And it was a good thing that I did decide only to make a half-batch because there was only enough brown sugar for a 1/2 cup, and I almost couldn't find the cinnamon!
Good luck trying to bake when you have a craving!

I never found so much difficultly in baking cookies, as when I want them so badly!
