Experiments in baking.

I wanted to make cookies. I was lazy. I didn't want to look up a recipe. So I made up my own. Since the cookies seem pretty damn tasty, I'll share.

Darcy's Improv Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 or 400 degrees (I'm not sure yet which is going to be best).

1 stick softened unsalted butter
½ c white sugar
½ c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c flour
1 c oats
1 c raisins

Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs. Add flour. Add oats & raisins. Spoon onto greased baking sheet. Cook for 15 or 20 minutes, or until they look done.

For the future, I may up the amount of oats, and I'd certainly be happy with cranberries instead of raisins, but I always love cranberries. Possibly a pinch of salt, or just normal butter. I think if I doubled the flour, added some vanilla, and put in chocolate chips instead of oats and raisins, they'd make decent chocolate chips cookies. But I haven't tested that yet.

Daaaaaaarcy, what in the name of Ryvita is a stick of butter? (Okay, I know it's an American thingy, but how much does it weigh? I want to make these things for a cake sale on Friday!)

1/2 cup. And if you're going to make them, I think I'd suggest more oats, and maybe a tad more flour.
