    Oatmeal, Walnuts, and Chocolate Chips – OH MY!

    Okay, so I know that spring is just around the corner, and yes, it is imperative that we look slim and trim for the warm weather, but this is a recipe I just couldn’t resist sharing!

    Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are a guilty pleasure that never fail to impress. They’re great to keep around the house or to give as a gift (because you know, every party host loves more food). What I love the most about them is that, with loads of oatmeal, they’re so wholesome and filling that one is enough to satisfy your sweet tooth — but I can’t promise you won’t reach for a second 😉 .

    I swear by these cookies, they’re incredibly delicious and so easy to make — there’s no way you could possibly mess screw them up!

     

    So, here’s how it’s done:

    STEP ONE: Mix 2 Sticks Butter , 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, and 1/2 Cup White Sugar until Creamy

    STEP TWO: Then add 2 Large Eggs and 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

    STEP THREE: Separately, Combine All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt, and 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

    STEP FOUR: Mix the wet and dry ingredients then add 3 Cups Old Fashion Oats, 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips, and 1 Cup Walnuts

    STEP FIVE: Refrigerate mixture for 30 mins, then place 1 tablespoon sized rounds onto a baking sheet; Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 minutes.

    AND VOILÁ!

    **NOTE: This recipe makes A LOT of cookies! (The picture above is after a family of 7 all had their fair share!) I suggest making half a batch; you’ll end up with about 24 cookies.. enjoy! 🙂

    Eat – MILK

    One of the yummiest places in the world to indulge your sweet tooth. I know what Jackson would say about this (you shouldnt be eating that!!) but I think it’s okay once in a while. Just not every single day. I discovered this place while interning   and we got to order something for lunch. Little did I know this place is just heaven. So I just had to stop by to take a look! It’s has desserts of all kinds and even sandwiches and lunch food.

    I got the Banana Nut Milkshake but I only drank 1/5 of it.. Way too yummy for my non-working out body.

    How cute, homemade ice cream!
    the minis!
    none for Santa, all for me ^_^

    If you are in LA and want to seriously indulge, you are read MILK review here and check out their website here
