Today I made my second set of Christmas cookies. This time it was was this recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies that I modified to be peppermint bark cookies.
I subbed one cup of semisweet chocolate chips and one cup of white chocolate chips for the chocolate chips and nuts. And then I added eight crushed up candy canes.
I also sifted the flour, baking soda, and salt to make the cookies a little lighter and beat the hell out of the butter and sugar.
And here’s the finished product
Overall I think they’re really good. They’re unlike any other oatmeal cookie I’ve ever had. They’re super soft, but also thin. The candy cane got a little messy, but looks don’t matter!

Did I do anything else today you ask? Why yes, I did.
I went to the gym this morning. I was just not in the mood to be there. I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and then I was done.
After that I went to pick up a bagel and look at red nailpolish (didn’t find anything).
I cleaned the bathroom and then made the cookies.
After the cookies were finally done I made dinner. I decided to use Caitlin’s recipe for savory oats and they were amazing!
Since I don’t like carrots I subbed cauliflower for them and I also added onions for a little more flavor.
I loved this, totally on my new list of favorite recipes.
