Day 4: Oatmeal Cookies

We’re keeping it simple for day 4 with these oatmeal cookies. Nothing fancy here… just oatmeal and no extra add-ins. That’s the way you have to do it sometimes. Return to basics!

These cookies are so so good. I know I say a lot of cookies are good, but these really are. They’re not very sweet, soft, and chewy.

I feel a little behind on my Christmas shopping this year. Well, I got all of the kiddos done, but I still have some more to do. Thank goodness for the internet and online shopping! I’ve been busy working with the nursery. I know it’s still early, but I can’t help feeling antsy with a disorganized room.

I spent the whole week putting together a dresser, which was a complete pain in the butt. I’d highly recommend buying a dresser that’s already put together or hiring someone to put it together for you (especially if you’re almost 30 weeks preggers!). My DH works all day and can’t lift heavy things because of his back surgery a couple of months ago, so it was up to me to get things done.

I’m already starting to feel quite large and in charge, getting out of breath over little things, so I figured the sooner the better. All of the big stuff for the nursery is complete and I couldn’t be happier! Now it’s just a matter of nesting whenever the time comes.

For plain cookies, these turned out beautifully. The ridges on top, the browned edges, the way they perfectly spread out… These would be great in a cookie basket or gift bag for the holidays. If you reallllly want, you can add some chocolate chips or toffee to the mix. Trust me, it’s not necessary. Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the cinnamon! That’s the most important part.
