Hello, Every Birdie. Today we are going to be making some Oatmeal Drop Cookies. This recipe is honestly really simple and easy to follow. And it can be edited so that you can add other things. I added Strawberries, Chocolate Chips, and a little bit of leftover frosting, from the red velvet cake. 

The recipe that we are going to be using is the one that is on the container of Equate’s (Walmarts brand) of old-fashioned oatmeal. Yes, you could use quick oats. But it just doesn’t have the same taste. 

The recipe and the description will be down below. 

The ingredients that you will need for this recipe are:

• Butter or Margarine
• Sugar 
• Brown Sugar
• Eggs
• Milk
• Vanilla
• Flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Oats
• Chocolate chips 
• Strawberries

After you get all of your ingredients together you are going to preheat your oven to 375℉. 

You are going to cream together your butter and your sugars. The recipe calls for 1 cup of each, brown and white sugar. But because I was using some of my cream cheese frosting that I made with the cake, I only added about ½ cup of each. Because I knew that the cookies would have been too sweet. 

After about 2 minutes of beating the butter and sugar mixture, you are going to add in your eggs, milk, and vanilla. 

In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. This includes your flour, baking soda, and salt. 

Combine this with the sugar mixture. Once it is almost all incorporated, you are going to add your other ingredients. Such as your chocolate chips and your strawberries. 

If you have made cookies before in the past, you know what cookie dough is supposed to look like. It is somewhere in between soft and hard. You want your cookie dough to be soft, not dropping off the spoon. You want it to be firm enough so it can be rounded by hand if needed. 

The first batch was on the soft/ drippy side. And I knew that these cookies weren’t going to be cookies. Rather they came out to be crunchy granola. Still edible and my siblings told me that they were good. They are the types of people who would tell me if the cookie or the food was inedible but in a nice way. 

I was so emotionally drained after I made these cookies. They tasted really good. One thing you have to teach yourself when you are baking is that it is a science. That not everything is going to work how you think it will work. Because there are going to be multiple different factors that you can not change. 

I hope that you liked this recipe. If you ever have a “fail” in baking that doesn’t mean that you are a failure. It means that you are in fact learning. Just have fun with it! The recipe will be in the description down below. Feel free to check it out. See you in the next recipe. Thank you.
