went for a 5K today – and proceeded to bake cookies. this is what balance looks like.

ingredients:

yeild – 3 dozen ish

• 1 cup butter (melted)
• 1 cup white sugar
• .5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1.5 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
• 1.5tsp baking soda
• salt (depending on whether or not butter is already salted)
• about half a bar of bakers semi sweet chocolate chopped up
• a decent amount of cinnamon

TIPS:

• could not find the electric mixer today SO we used a whisk when mixing the butter with the sugar and honestly… turned out pretty solid still. so do as you please. or consider it an arm workout idc.
• melt the butter and mix with the sugar — THEN once everything is combined, put the cookie dough in the fridge for 15ish minutes – WAY easier to handle / shape the cookie size than it its room temperature and sticky.
• for future reference… almond extract in chocolate chip cookies is my 10/10 secret baking tip… this was not used today because we’re being socially responsible and not going to metro specifically for almond extract.
