when it's cold outside...

... just turn on the oven!

we made experimental oatmeal-coconut-pecan cookies,

and they are yummmmmy!

here's what we used:

1 cup of whole wheat flour

1/2 cup of buckwheat flour

1/4 cup of almond meal

1 tsp of baking soda

1/2 tsp of sea salt

1 tbsp of cinnamon

2 1/2 cups of oats

1 cup of shredded coconut

1 cup of butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup rice milk

1 tbsp of lemon juice

1 tbsp of vanilla extract

1 tbsp of molasses 

and here's how we did it:

first combine the dry ingredients,

then mix the butter and sugar until light & fluffy,

then add to that the remaining non-dry ingredients and mix well,

then mix in the dry ingredients.

scoop out onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake

at 375˙ for 10-12 minutes.

oh, we also baked shrinky-dink charms!

isn't she cute?!!

hope we're not the only ones having fun and keeping warm today.
