Cookies...yum yum!

Been baking lately.  Last week I did traditional chocolate chip cookies - I really don't like chocolate chip cookies (I know I'm crazy) but they really don't do much for me, but they are easy and Bruce loves them.  I did some of the cookies with nuts and liked them much better.  I guess I like the salt & sweet combination.  This weekend I added a twist to Oatmeal Raisin.  I did Oatmeal Cranberry/Coconut.  Yum yum...these are good cookies.  Bruce is chocolate man, but he really likes these.  They are very simple to make too.

I got this recipe from Martha Stewart  - Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, if you like raisins then go for the 2 cups, but the cranberries add a little something special - so I replaced the raisins with 2 cups of dried cranberries. 

I'm having some oven troubles.  I have a 1949 General Electric stove.  It's electric - seriously...and yes, you can cook on electric.  I think you end up being a better cook when you cook on electric because you have to be more careful with what you are doing.  Anyway, my stove has 2 ovens (thank god), because my main oven has decided not to heat up properly.  It probably gets up to 250 but that's it.  So I have been using my 2nd oven, which is a bit smaller but am finding out heats really really fast.  The recipe says 18 minutes for the cookies to bake - WHAT - it took mine 9 minutes to be nice golden brown.  So if you have a fast heating oven, watch the time.

Try these out and let me know what you think.  I think I'm going to go have another right now.
