Oatmeal Raisin Cookies


The only downside in making this recipe was the fact that 3 batches used up over half of the honey I just bought from Target, which means less for me and my toast *cries*. On a lighter note, these cookies turned out to be little blobs of pure joy (for me). Every time I made them, the kitchen was drenched in the aromas of honey, vanilla, and cinnamon which lasted longer than any air freshener i've ever used. They were surprisingly very chewy (which my braces-infested-teeth prefer) every time I pulled them out of the oven, even if it was a couple minutes late. The sweetness didn't last very long with every bite, but the chewiness compensated for that, in my opinion. And for those who were able to sample a few, did you guys know they were supposedly healthy? No wonder, right? Haha.


I tweaked the recipe a little, adding a dash of honey here and there and adding vanilla icing and such. These little guys puffed up in the shape I left them on the tray. I could've made them more circular, but the sticky honey really prevented me from patiently sculpting them because the oven was always done preheating before I was done shaping the cookies. It also left a lot of residue on my fingers, which I had no trouble licking off at the end. The batch was incredibly sweet before it was baked, makes me wonder... where did all the sugar go? It's like a relationship, when people break up, where does the love go? Or it's like drinking grape juice. When you pee, where does the purple go? The things in life that make you wonder, gotta love 'em.
