Addictions

So I know there are about a million worse things I could be addicted to, but I can't help thinking my sweet tooth is getting out of hand. I have a serious problem... I keep making these delicious desserts and then I eat way more than my share. For Easter I made fruit pizza and I have eaten half of the leftovers on my own. Then I made some cake pops. What's better than a cupcake? I'll tell you - cake on a stick. Smushed cake mixed with frosting and coated with a candy shell. MMMMMMmmmmm, nom nom nom. I made them for my girls' last practice and somehow the cake fairy left another dozen at home with me.

How will I ever reach my goal weight with treats like this around my house??

Oatmeal Cookies

I had the baking urge today, so I took advantage of JB taking a nap and made one of my favorite cookies - the oatmeal craisin cookie. Here is the delicious recipe:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups oatmeal
1 stick unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat butter and both sugars together until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly add in dry ingredients.

Add oats, white chocolate chips, and craisins. Mix together with spoon (hand mixer just doesn't do this well).

Spoon onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes.

Cool and enjoy!!
