using my own imagination

so today i was inspired with all of my food knowledge to see if it was possible for me to make my own recipe for cookies. i like to believe that i am capable of making up delicious recipes when cooking - but baking is a very different feat. when it comes to baking, measurements must be exact, it is more of a science than an explosion of creativity. without any professional training and true understanding of measurement ratios, i decided to use my familiarity with baking cookies to support my recipe...here we go!

1 stick of butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of honey
     mix them together in a bowl until you have a pale paste

2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
    whip eggs into the butter and sugar mixture, add vanilla and stir!

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled instant oats
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup of white chocolate chips
1/4 dried cranberries
    mix in all the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until the batter comes together, then stir in     the chocolate and cranberries


heat your oven to 350 and pop the cookies in (place the batter in rounds on a baking sheet). let them bake for 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown!
my cookies did not come out as nice round circles, but instead i realized i created my own cookie cake! yum yum! i'll keep working on it, but no matter how they look they were still mighty delicious!
