Hello blog friends.
It was my daughter's birthday at the beginning of May.
 |
When I saw a recipe for oatmeal cookies posted on Andrea's blog, Living on Cloud Nine, I knew that those were the cookies that I wanted to make.
For the first time baking Oatmeal cookies they came out tasting better then I thought they would.
I wrapped them in a tin with Happy Birthday paper and sent them to my daughter at college.
My daughter also has a blog called THIS FASHION GIRL and a YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy looking at her video of a week in the life of a college freshman, finals, and her birthday and opening up the box of surprise cookies.
These are photos before the cookies were baked.

This is what the first batch of cookies looked like. The cookies came out looking like oatmeal balls! LOL.

For the second batch of cookies, I flattened the cookies a little bit with a spoon.
Even though these oatmeal cookies did not come out looking like Andrea's cookies, they still tasted so good and healthy.
