((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Oatmeal Raisin Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Hershey's Cinnamon Chips are hard to find in the supermarket but can be readily found online through the Hershey Store, Walmart or even Drugstore.com!

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2-½ cups quick- cooking oats
1 pkg. (10 oz.) Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips*
¾ cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in bowl until creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla; beating well.  Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter mixture, beating well.  Stir in oats, cinnamon chips and raisins (batter will be stiff).

Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool I minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Makes about 4 dozen.

*I use half a package of chips as I find using the entire bag a bit overpowering.

Bar variation:  Spread batter into lightly greased 13x9x2-inch pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool; cut into bars.  Makes about 3 dozen bars.
