It's amazing what you can create from things you want to use up

I had all these things in my pantry leftover from recent creations that I wanted to use up. Among them: half a bag of milk chocolate chips and half a package of raisins. After looking at the other things I had on hand, I decided to try a new recipe: chocolate chip raisin oatmeal cookies.

When the snow arrived at around 4:00EST, I headed into the kitchen to create. The smell of cinamon, sugar and butter filled the air as the snow came down and turned Maryland white.

I haven't had dinner yet but I couldn't resist eating a little one fresh out of the oven. I pronounce this recipe a keeper. These cookies are AMAZING!

It makes about three dozen so if any of my local followers want any, you know where to find me. I am happy to bring you some tomorrow when the sun is shining.
