How amazing is it that Sally can whip up a batch of cookies at 11:30 at night?  I wish she lived in my house and baked for me all the time since I’m always looking to eat sweets!   We had this energetic conversation via text about cookies early this evening and Sally wanted to make Oatmeal Raisin cookies!  She was very hesitant in making them because she dreaded doing the dishes, but oh no, I had to motivate miss young thing to actually make it.  I promised that if she makes it, I will feature it on my website!  Not like I wasn’t going to, but it was just the extra cherry on the top for her to actually make it.  As I am writing this, Miss Sally is cleaning up the dishes now.  How I am so proud of her.  Now, if only I can get access to these cookies!  For more pictures and for the recipe, please click on the following link!
