What do you do with two large bags of quick cooking oats you got for free from the food give away, you ask?
Why you make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, of course.
SuperChic loves chocolate chip cookies. She’s not so fond of oatmeal cookies, I think it may be the raisins. On their own they’re acceptable, in cookies they’re not.
So I found a recipe I liked and was easy, added extra vanilla, and we were off.

I use a cookie dough scoop to make the dough stretch. And so there’s no, Mommy, she took the big cookie syndrome.

Baked them for 9 minutes.

And voila! Mostly even in size, perfectly yummy, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
And I did it while having six, yes six, kids in the house, trying to help, playing hot potato (while sitting down), and dancing in the living room.
It would probably be much more efficient if I just baked when they weren’t home, but where is the fun in that.
