Strange alarms....

I came home last night, took a shower, and laid down to wait on Lindsay to get done with her work. She came to bed about 20 mins later and had apparently decided I was making cookies tomorrow (today). No subtle hints about it, just a "how bout you make me some oatmeal cookies tomorrow because you love me so much???" I think about for about 1 second and am like "no." When all I really was thinking was do we have all the necessary ingredients to make them and how long will this take before work? Of course I didn't let her know any of that. She kept on with insisting I MAKE HER some cookies...and I stand strong to my no way answer. HAHAHA.

So, the first thing she says this morning is "are you going to make me an egg mountain sandwich?" Ok. Ok. Fine. I make us egg mountain sandwiches (2 pieces of bread with 3 eggs and one piece of cheese piled in between the bread) and then she starts with the cookie dreams again. I am diligent in my refusing to give in to her pressure (or at least she thinks). She even breaks out the old classic "if you loved me" line. PUH-LEASE.

Lindsay finished getting ready for work and I sat on the couch, secretly looking for oatmeal cookie recipes. She gets ready to leave and I remember my phone is still in the bedroom, so I kindly ask her to bring it to me. "UHHHHH!!!! I have to do everything!!!" is what I get from her, but she does it anyhow. She hands me my phone....and strangely enough...there is an alarm set on it. An alarm I didn't set. It slips my mind as I go on to do other things (move my car, take the dogs out). I come back inside...and sit down on the couch. RING RING! RING RING!!! OH!!! My alarm is going off! I pick my phone up...and what does it say???

make your girlfriend cookies 10:30am

What a sneak!!!! Geesh!

Anyhow...here is the recipe I found online. I somehow managed to scrounge up everything to make these, minus the vanilla which I substituted with honey. Oh...and I didn't use walnuts. i instead added a handful of golden raisins and a handful of craisins. Worked out great! They are tasty!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• 1 cup walnuts
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats and nuts until just blended. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Cookies should be at least 2 inches apart.
3. Bake for about 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
