The smell of cookies baking wafted through the house and pretty soon I had lured the cookie monster down from the den. I mentioned not long ago that I had extra oatmeal around, so it seemed like a good day to make some cookies. Besides, it's cold outside. Ron likes extra raisins, so I usually almost double the amount of raisins called for in the recipe. The recipe was passed along to me from Teri's collection, they are called Cape Cod Oatmeal cookies. I think the cinnamon helps to make these cookies especially good.
I had a new cookie making experience today. I have a really nice Bosch mixer that has been around for quite some time, which is a testament to its durability. There are lots of attachments to go with the Bosch that Ron and Teri bought, way back in the 80's. With the age of the base unit, I was concerned that replacing the mixer and all of its attachments would be quite expensive. With that thought in mind, I wanted to find out what a new base unit would cost, should mine quit... and whether my attachments would work. I was able to determine that the attachments will work with the new base... WooHoo!!! Ron was helping with the search for information and found a YouTube with a lady showing all that her new Bosch could do. In the process of watching the video I saw her using cookie paddles. That was something I did not have. I always used what I thought was the only option... the wire beaters. Well, you know how Amazon works... Ron did a search, found cookie paddles for the Bosch, and ordered them. I love how nice these cookie paddles work. It just seemed to blend much more smoothly and cleanup was so much easier. I won't presume that the paddles made the difference, but for some reason, these oatmeal cookies were awesome today.
