SNACK TIME - RECIPE: MARK'S THICK & CHEWY OATMEAL COOKIES

 Frist up: apple chips. If you're a binge snacker like me, these are a great thing to have around!

Perhaps a little un-related, but I tried this hair tutorial while I was waiting for the apple chips to bake! I will never curl my hair the same way again.
And then hubby got the baking bug... and made THE BEST oatmeal cookies in the world. I'm not kidding. Recipe below!
This face says it all:

Mark's Thick & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 C butter, softened
2/3 C light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 C all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 C rolled oats (we used old-fashioned)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. In a lrage bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg & vanilla until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon & salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. 
4. Stir in oats.
5. Allow the dough to chill in the fridge for a short while. Then place your cookies 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet. 
6. Bake 10-12 minutes, taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little under cooked-looking on top.
7. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool. 
8. ENJOY!!
