Is there anything better than warm cookies when the temperature is 15? I think not. (well, unless you have fresh milk to go with it
)Plus hubby needed some to take to a meeting tonight. So we made oatmeal cookies and whole wheat chocolate chip with pecans
The oatmeal were so-so, but the whole wheat choc chip comes from the best cookie recipe I've ever made. It uses coconut oil which gives it an amazing chewy-ness and the whole wheat gives it a great texture - not at all what you might expect.

Recipe: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt -
* Java's note - I use 3/4 t. of sea salt* as I like a slightly salty/sweet flavor
1 cup chocolate chips
optional: add chopped pecans or walnuts
1. Heat oven to 375F. In large bowl, beat sugars, butter, oil, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
3. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until very light golden brown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
Karen - I felt so bad for you and Surprise, but I'm so glad she's doing well. 
The goats don't seem to mind it - the were out stomping their hooves at me because I overslept and breakfast was late. I need a stomping goat smilie...
So I have to counteract it with ibuprofen and caffeine 
I was desperate for sleep so it was worth it.
I loved the Stones.,,,,,Hubby and I went to see them for our first date in 1981!
