I created a monster...



A cookie monster, or a cooking monster. After making the cake, my genius-boy nephew said he wanted to cook more. He's all the sudden fascinated that you can 'create' a recipe. Genius boy will be reading this so I will keep my soliloquey of his virtues short but needless to say, I must indulge the cookie-ing monster.

So tonight, we made Paula Deen's Oatmeal cookie recipe, found in her Christmas with Paula cookbook, and HERE online (to save on some sort of copywrite infringement.) Genius-boy agreed after I made it clear he could customize a recipe by adding some of his own ingredients. Therefore it was still his to publish, just based on someone else's. (if Paula is reading this, I know you'll relate, and understand why we needed to do this, I'm sure the original is amazing!) so we omitted the raisins and nuts (having non-raisin and nut eaters here) and added white chocolate morsels, semi sweet morsels, and coconut (see Paula - YUM!)


Creaming ingredients


Crackin' eggs


Adding more ingredients


HIS idea of chocolate chips


Scooping them out onto the silpat mat (totally a great tool by the way - really, really get one!)



Genius-boy (and Paula's) Ultimate, loaded, totally cool oatmeal cookie recipe!

Genius-boy's additions:

1 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of semi-sweet chips
1 cup of white chocolate chips
