Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Two posts - one day.  I've all ready surpassed my last attempt!  For no real reason, I decided that I was going to bake for my coworkers and wanted to make something different than just standard chocolate chip cookies (which I had all the ingredients for all ready) but also wasn't interested in buying a slew of additional items.  This brought me to Oatmeal Raisin cookies (which at its base is nearly identifical) and a friend suggested adding the chocolate chips.  Ingredients, recipe, and general baking antics after the jump!

Introduction

At print (or I guess more accurately, post), I have been talking about "getting a hobby" since probably around 2008.  It's been one of my "New Years Resolutions" since 2011.  And even MORE explicitly - starting to bake more regurlarly and blog about it (to keep myself honest) was a resolution in both 2012 and 2013.  Hell - I even blogged ONE WHOLE TIME before creating this blog.

 I'll mostly post about baking projects, probably things found on Pinterest.  Maybe one day I'll try to actually cook real food.  I might even dig my camera out and not take all my pictures with my iPhone.  We'll see about that one....

So here I am, trying really hard in my 25th year of life to finally get a hobby that doesn't include a hangover the next day.  Let's see if this time it sticks.
