Oatmeal Cookies with White Chocolate & Cashews
I am counting the days until school is out for summer and we are down to eight! I love having the kids home in the summer. My older boys have football camp for a week and other than our regular cow work and haying we are planning to do lots of fishing. I even ordered a new fishing pole and I am ready to catch some fish. However, I am a fair weather fisherman and the weather is calling for snow again! I reckon fishing will wait a week or two.
I am sure that you have noticed that I bake a lot of cookies. Cookies are quick, easy and great to grab on the go, a perfect snack or dessert and I admit sometimes my breakfast. My husband said these were the perfect cookies, that they have everything a cookie should have. I took the compliment with a smile. I really liked these cookies, they stayed soft in the middle with a little crunch around the edges and the sweet white chocolate chips with the salty cashews really hit the spot.
I have a couple of great giveaways for the near future and I will be hosting a few exclusive giveaways this week for my facebook and twitter fans so click on over and show me some love! It will be appreciated!
