1400th entry

i've made my very first batch of oatmeal-raisin cookies from scratch. the first time i used betty crocker's. this time the recipe comes from the american book. and it was a monstrous batch because they was so much dough. that is, it was very tiring on my hand to mix.
may i also add that this dough, unbaked, is dangerously eatable? it's so very chock full of oatmeal and so scrumptious because of that.

these cookies are icebox cookies. that means the dough is rolled into logs and chilled till firm before being cut and baked directly. because my freezer was not cold enough, the dough could not firm up and keep it's shape when i sliced it. still, the resulting cookies were delicious.
