Oatmeal+Flour+Sugar+Toddler

Today has been a long day. I'm sick and not feeling up to doing a whole lot, my daughter is getting bored easily. So what to do....tried coloring with her, did our preschool work, playdough, babies, but kids do better moving and staying active when they see you staying active. When your stuck to the couch trying to rest and get better, well they want to just lay around and watch TV. In our case resulting in behavior going down the drain. So cookies!

As I was setting up to make cookies the worst thing possible! NO BUTTER!!!!! AW! I had already told her that we would be making cookies, she was dancing around the kitchen and I couldn't break the news that we couldn't because we didn't have butter. So I looked and looked for a no butter recipe that didn't sound horrible, found one and adapted it a bit. We poured, counted, mixed, giggled...we made cookies. Add a little heat and snack time was ready.

Dairy Free Oatmeal Cookies

1.5 C Flour

1.5 C Oats (if you want thicker cookies I would add 1/2 C)

1tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

3/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2C White Sugar

1 C Brown Sugar

1.5 C Oil

2 Eggs

1.5 tsp Vanilla

Preheat the oven for 350, after mixing the dry add the wet ingredients (it mixes really easily), roll into balls and place on lined cookie sheet, bake about 10min (until golden brown).

The cookies look thin and look like they would be crispy, but if you keep a close eye and don't let them overcook they are very moist! Enjoy!
