Trying for my perfect oatmeal cookie
Comments (54)Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies A modified version of the Quaker Oats VORC (look under the lid). As with all cookie recipes, freezing your chocolate chips and cranberries will make a huge difference in the finished cookie. The chips will hold together under heat and cranberries won't puree in the mixer. Let these cookies cool completely! Ingredients: 2 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 cups Quaker Oats - regular, not the instant or overnight 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup chocolate chips - not minis 2 cups cranberries Process: Cream both sugars and the butter until soft and fluffy Add the eggs and vanilla and mix Mix the flour, baking soda, cranberries, and chocolate chips in a large bowl and then add to the mixer and combine at low speed for a minute at most Add the oatmeal and combine at low speed Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper Roll the dough into 1" to 1-1/2" balls and place on the baking sheets Flatten them if you want crispy cookies, otherwise leave them as balls to get chewy centers Bake 13-15 minutes or until the edges start to get brown Cool completely on racks. Yields around 3 dozen cookies...See MoreLooking for the perfect warm beige yellow paint?
Comments (45)Well, before you buy all those samples, get the chips from the store and do some comparison in the rooms you intend to use them in. I was able to eliminate quite a few colors (that I actually liked rather well by themselves) once I put them next to my floors, drapes, in different light etc. Some brands of paint sell large swatches as well for much less than a sample pot....See MoreCan't find the right Beige / Taupe!

Comments (10)Thank you for the picture sweetrain. the 1/2 strength bennington gray does look very nice. I'm probably going to do the halls/stairs elmira white and was trying to decide what to do for the family room/dining room. The kitchen is probably going to be RH silver sage or BM quiet moments: something in the grey/blue category. I thought about continuing the Elmira white but I'm used to pretty dark colors and I'm not sure how I would like that. My old kitchen/dining were Nantucket gray and family room was hamshire gray, but I want to steer away from all that green. I'll just have to wait for all the dry wall to go up and try some samples. I wonder how bleeker beige compares also....See Moretibbrix
