cookie comfort

Nothing beats the comfort of homemade cookies with milk, tea or coffee. The whole house feels very homey with the wonderful aroma of the baking cookies, putting you into a relaxed kind of mood. I like munching on them while watching a movie or reading - needless to say I have to keep the cookie jar as far away as possible from the couch or bed I am in or else I'd finish the lot




Classic Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
