The merry merry month of May???

Yes, it is May and I just realized I haven't posted on here since February!!  Sorry, I have been doing so much reading on my Kindle Fire that I haven't done much else.  Torsten (my grandson) and I did make Bunny and Egg shaped sugar cookies to take to Ryan (my son) and McKenzie's (my daughter-in-law) home for Easter.  Here is a pic of Torsten with the Bunny and Egg Cookies.

 Last week when Torsten was here we made cookies for him to take some home to Mommy and Daddy..  I had been on www.allrecipes.com looking at cookie recipes and I got some ideas there and came up with my own recipe for Crunchy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Everyone thought they were really good.  So I thought I'd post the recipe on here.

Crunchy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups Butter, softened
4 Eggs
2 cups packed Brown Sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
Cream these ingredients together until fluffy.
Stir together the following ingredients and then add
the the first mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
1 tsp. Apple pie spice (or just cinnamon), optional
3 1/2 cups Quick cooking Oatmeal
2 cups. Rice Krispies cereal
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. Salt
1- 12oz. pkg. Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup or more ( Heath Bar) English Toffee Bits ( or Heath Bars, crushed), optional

Drop dough onto greased baking sheets by tablespoonfuls.  Lightly flatten the dough.  Bake at 350°
for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom and edges are just beginning to brown.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yields around 7 dozen cookies.

Note:  If you prefer you can use 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour instead of the whole wheat and all-purpose flour.  Also if you like you can add more chocolate chips as these do not contain a lot of chips per cookie.
