Sammy and Caleb both loved the cookies. I had to hide them due to the flax and kept warning Caleb he was going to have to poo lots if he kept eating so many :)

So.. if any of you are wondering, we love them!!

Summer F.U.N.

We have been busy busy busy.  Summer is quickly passing us by and we are trying to soak up all the sun we can before the rain returns.  I can not believe that I have not posted in over a week but hey, with a stomach flu that hit our home and two boys that run me (literally) off my feet it is all I can do to tuck myself in at night let alone think about typing.

Sammy cookies

Ingredients
3/4 C Butter softened
3/4 C Brown Sugar
3/4 C Sugar

Beat until light and fluffy.

2 eggs
1tsp Vanilla

Add to the above mixture

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 1/4 cup All purpose Flour
1 C Oatmeal
1 Cwhole wheat flour
1/4 C Ground Flax
1 1/2 C Raisins
1tsp cinnamon

Stir to combine. Bake at 375 for 9 min.

I wanted to make a cookie that Sammy can have and was craving oatmeal cookies. I totally adapted this recipe to make it my own.  I added the whole wheat flour, ground flax and baking powder.  The recipe called for 2 3/4 cups of oatmeal but I ran out at 1 cup.

Mine are cooling on the rack but this is what they looked like after :)
