Hungry fella?
This week I’m sharing a recipe I followed off of a box of McCanns Irish Oatmeal. Every Friday I upload a video to my YouTube channel that follows a recipe off the box of a product I find in the grocery store. I was in need of something a little tastier after last week’s oyster fiasco and Irish oatmeal felt like a safe bet. The recipe on this package was for Oatmeal Cookies and I was happy to oblige!
So I creamed my butters and sugars and liquids…
Added my flours and oatmeal and raisins…
And then turned my cookies into little rounds of golden sunshine…
The entire process and my final gold star rating can be watched here:
But the cliff notes version is that of course they were a win…they’re oatmeal cookies! I think the recipe could use a bit more brown sugar to sweeten them up. They were a LITTLE bland, but that didn’t stop my family from polishing off the plate. Three gold stars!
Have a great weekend!
