Raisin Oatmeal & Maple syrup cookies

There is some day that i just wake up and think " i know what i want to eat today" Well, to "bake" to be exact ^^ Like today, when i woke up and i just have the thought that i will make oatmeal cookies today. This cookies is so yummy!!!! Sweetness from raisin, chewy (and good source of fiber) from oatmeal. Warm touch of Maple syrup. Crispy and sweet. Simply delicious .. no glaze need (at least, for me). The only regret i have is that i should bake the whole batch instead of 1/2 recipe .. cause i eat them all in once and nothing left for snack during the rest of the day! :}

Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies

Some or all of you might begin to notice by now that i like Cinnamon Roll ^^ Yes, i do. I like Cinnamon Roll a lot, so much. I find them such a special dessert. They are so much fun to make: knead, roll, cut, ... just like sweet bread. Lovely texture when touch, look nice in special in form of spiral and taste that can be vary as you wish. Most of all, when they have the frosting on .. icing, cream cheese, caramel pecan, .. so hard to resist. Like this "Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies". I never try Cinnamon Roll in form of cookies before until now and i cannot stop baking them ever since. If you ever try once, you too, will do it again and again ^^ Yes, please try!

I just love baking with spiced. Not only in the kitchen but just the whole house smell so good with it. It makes me feel at home. Feel warm even when it's cold. Also, it makes me feel so hungry that i feel more "eating" than "tasting" the batter before baking them. Yes, i always taste the batter .. all kinds of batter! Sometimes i find them even taste better than baked one :D This Hermit Cookies is just so de-li-ci-ous. I also like the contrast of the color of cookies and the icing. They get along so well together. I baked this once for my lovely neighbors who decided to all come outside on one shiny afternoon to take a sun bath and chat between parents while, at the same time, look after their kids playing all together on the street. What a nice neighborhood! and and and they said they like this cookies ^^

This is my kids favorite cookies. Why? Because they can participate in all the process since making the dough, rolling, cutting into shape until put in the oven ^^ But their most favorite part is, of course, when they decorate them with icing and all sorts of sprinkle .. lick their finger, eat some, decorate some. Good moment ^^ This recipe is not too sweet and hold well the shape after baked. Love it!
