Hazelnut Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are really delicious and different!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces English toffee candy, finely chopped (Heath or Skor bits)
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skinned and chopped
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Line 2 heavy baking sheets with parchment paper. Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Transfer the oats to a medium bowl. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the toffee, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips.
For each cookie, drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough onto sheet, spacing 1 inch apart (do not flatten dough). Bake until the cookies are golden (cookies will flatten slightly), about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Sour Cream Oatmeal Cookies!
These are the healthy oatmeal cookies I made a while ago--Laura loved the dough! Yum!
Sour Cream Oatmeal Cookies
Mix in separate bowl:
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. oatmeal
Cream together:
4 Tbsp. butter
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
Then add:
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix in with wooden spoon:
1/3 c. reduced fat sour cream (fat free works, but not as well)
Stir dry ingredients in with wooden spoon, then add 3/4 cup chocolate chips (if you are just making the dough to eat raw, I like it better without chocolate chips).
Drop spoonfuls on parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes.

Good work girls
To all who were involved in tonight's Sunday dinner I think we set a new standard of quality AND quantity of food! Everything was so great and thanks to all who contributed! There was lots of recipe swapping talk tonight so I hope everyone keeps their promises and posts away!
Here's the recipe for my salad
Ingredients:
spring mix lettuce
1 yellow pepper
1 granny smith apple
red onion
bacon pieces (real bacon)
craisins
shredded Parmesan cheese
sliced almonds
dressing:
olive oil
apple cider vinegar
sugar
lemon juice (opt.)
salt and pepper (opt.)
directions:
Thinly slice the pepper and red onion
chop into small pieces the green apple
mix in with greens (however much you want)
*I don't have any measurements of anything because I do it all by looks and taste so add however much of the other toppings that you want.
*for the almonds heat a small frying pan with just a few drops of olive oil. toast the almonds until they are golden brown and add a touch of salt (or sugar). Add the browned almonds to the salad.
For the dressing I blend in a separate cup a 1/4 cup olive oil and a little more than a 1/4 cup vinegar. Again I just go by taste. I like mine a little tangier. Then I add a pinch of sugar. Stir it very well and pour over salad. Toss thoroughly and serve immediately.
Enjoy my very favorite salad!
