Made a trade off with the hubby - he took me out to eat and I made him cookies! I’d rather make cookies than anything else in the world! He couldn’t decide between chocolate chip or oatmeal so he got cowboy cookies.

I could practice making potato leek soup - one of my exam dishes - or make vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Yeah I went with the cookies!!!

My new favorite cookie! Chocolate chip oatmeal made with walnut butter instead of oil. 5pts per cookie and worth every damn pt!!
