In the midst of this pandemic, I've read from multiple sources that baking is a great way to relieve stress and I believe it! I've been baking up a storm here!
In fact, I sent a GIF of this guy to my daughter-in-law the other day and told her that this was me in the kitchen that day. 😆
The day that I sent it to her I had made cookies, three small loaves of French bread, and four loaves of Amish Friendship Bread. That was a lot of baking in one day...even for me! 😅
So, what about you? Are you a baker? If so, do you find that you are baking more now than usual? What are some of your favorite things to bake?
Today I'm including this family favorite recipe...my mother's Best-Ever Oatmeal Drop Cookie recipe.
Mom used to bake these cookies for me when I was a child and I made them for my own children as they were growing up. Now, my daughter and her children make them, so this is a recipe that spans at least four generations...maybe more!
Not only are these cookies wholesome and comforting, but this recipe makes a big batch...approximately 4 dozen cookies.

Yum, I love oatmeal cookies. Yesterday I made cherry brandy coffee cake, Today I made vanilla cupcakes and chocolate coffee frosting. Today is my sons 23rd birthday and that is what he wanted. Our landlady just bought down raspberry nut bars. You see, I think we are all going to be very fat when all this doom and gloom will be over with, grin (just teasing--although, we have been under "house arrest" for 3 weeks now, grin).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the smiles. Now, I must go gather the English muffins, pizza sauce and cheese (since the pizza place is closed due to the virus), again, my son requested English muffin pizzas, grin. Have a great remainder of this Tuesday, smiles.
