Oatmeal M&M Cookies

I had an excuse to make dessert, so I said yes.

Oatmeal M&M Cookies - the winner!

1 c         softened butter

2 c         molasses brown sugar

3            small eggs

3 1/3 c   oats

2 c         flour

1 tbs      cinnamon

1 tsp      baking soda

1/2 tsp   salt

2 c         mini M&M's

Heat oven to 325F

Blend butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs. In separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients (except the M&M's). Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and then mix in the M&M's. 

Roll the dough into balls and place on the pan (do you really have to say that?!?!?). Bake them for 10-12 minutes and then, when done, let them cool for 2 minutes on the rack - wow.

When your brother is being helpful making lunch and cutting off the crusts of bread right by a bag of M&M's, something delicious is bound to happen either on accident or on purpose. :)

Grape Vines

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 

If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

John 15:1-8
