   You can find this recipe on the bottom of a Quaker oat lid.  It's delicious, of course, but with a few changes you can make it even better.

-3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

-1/2 cup granulated sugar

-2 eggs

-1/2 teaspoon almond extract

-1 1/2 cup flour

-1 teaspoon baking soda

-1 teaspoon cinnamon

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-3 cups oats, uncooked

-1 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips


1. Heat oven to 350ºF.  In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy.

2. Add eggs and vanilla.  Beat well.

3. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well.  Then add it to the other ingredients.  Mix well.

4. Add oats and mini chocolate chips, mix well.

5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto uncreased cookie sheets.  Bake 8-10 minutes until light golden brown.  Let them cool 1 minute on cookie sheets before removing them to a wire rack.  Cool completely.  Store tightly covered.

                                       Makes about 4 dozen

DIY Paw Print Charm

Sculpting is one of the things I do best.  Cats are some of the best things on the planet.  So I decided to combine these two, and the resulting paw print charm is a very cute and simple craft idea.  You can give it to a friend as a gift, or keep it for yourself, or clip it to your cat's collar. YOU'LL NEED- -Medium-sized ball of clay, your choice of color ( I use Sculpey) -Toothpick -Eyelet
