((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!

Slice and Bake Oatmeal Cookies

Prepare the cookie dough in less than 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator overnight. Then slice and bake in no time the next day!

½ pound butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup wheat germ, Kretschmer Original Toasted recommended
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 cup quick 1-minute oats


Cream together butter and sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir together the flour, wheat germ, salt, and soda. Add to butter-sugar; mix well. Add oats. Separate dough into 3 equal size logs. Wrap in waxed paper and chill several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice cookie dough rotating the log a quarter turn after each slice to keep it round. Bake for 10-12 minutes on lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheets.
