There are some food that is always in you pantry, like oatmeal. Besides having with milk for breakfast, I often make them into cookies.
Cookies are very quick and easy to make, and it perfect for my afternoon treat at work. I usually make more than a dozen because I can save the dough in the fridge. Simply take it out before baking. If you are thinking of making some treats for your kids lunch box, share with friends, or tea time dessert at work like me, this is the recipe you can keep in the pocket, bake a bunch!
