Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

I just tried a new recipe tonight that I wanted to share with y'all. Grammy says "These are the best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies I have ever tasted!"

CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

In a small bowl combine:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

In a separate mixing bowl combine:
1/2 cup of butter (softened to room temp)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Beat really well until very creamy. Then, blend in:

1 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup chocolate chips (we used 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter chips)

Add dry ingredients and mix well until creamy. Make into small balls and press flat on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until slightly brown. Remove from sheet and cool on rack. ENJOY!!

A word of advice: Wait a few minutes before testing the cookies (unless you like really crumbly cookies).

Pictures from the air...

 

Well, I finally have some pictures downloaded that I can share with you. This post will contain pictures from my flight to Louisiana. 

 I left very early in the morning so these pictures are of the sun coming up, as seen from above the clouds. 

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." -Lamentations 3:2

And last of all, my personal favorite! I hope you enjoyed these. More pictures coming when I get the chance! :)

Just a quick post to let you know that my luggage arrived last night! I am so glad.

Going to see my cousins play basketball today.

In Louisiana!

I have arrived safely in Louisiana. As for my trip, it was eventful! New York was supposed to be a stop where I stay on the plane and everything goes smoothly...it wasn't! To sum it all up quickly; I had to changed planes, that flight was overbooked which led to delays. While sitting on the plane waiting for take-off, I saw my luggage (my sis tied a orange bow on it that you can see from MILES away) being taken off the air craft!

When I arrived in Louisiana, sure enough, my luggage was not there. They had sent it via Atlanta hoping that it would arrive in LA before I did. That flight was canceled! So, besides not having my checked baggage, I am throughly enjoying my stay with Grampy, Grammy, & Aunt Zula.

Off to Louisiana!!

It's 2:24 AM. I went to bed at 10:15 PM. Not the best amount of sleep for a day of travel!

I would appreciate your prayers as I fly today For those of you who are interested in my travel route, my parents are driving me the two hours to the airport, from there I am flying to New York, then to Pittsburg, then to Memphis, and from Memphis to Alexandria LA. From Alexandria it is about an hour to my grandparents home.

I'll let you know when I arrive safely! :)
