I’m Sandra Lee to Mir’s Emeril…

So while hanging ten on the waves of the blogosphere yesterday, I read this post by Mir over at Woulda Coulda Shoulda. See, I’m a sucker for cookies, and these cookies seemed right up my alley. Not to mention, I actually have several bags of Orange Flavored Craisins in my house because, well, we inhale them. We love them so much, we think that they should only make this flavor. Forever.
We’re wierd. But we have a pool and the kids are cute. It all evens out.
So I was perusing the recipe. It calls for bananas, which I don’t have. I Don’t have any rolled oats either. It’s not a staple we keep in my home. I’m also lacking shortening. Everything else, though, I have….I think.
So as I slowly watch my dream of yummy cookies slip into the ether, I suddenly jump up and run to the kitchen, open up my lazy susan cabinet (doesn’t everyone have one of these?) and spot a bag of oatmeal cookie mix on the bottom shelf. I immediately grab the bag of Craisins and realize my dream of cookies is in reach.
So this is my recipe for oatmeal orange cookies, sans banana.
Shash’s No Time To Actually Bake Cookies Recipe
1 Bag of Betty Crocker Oatmeal cookie mix
1 Bag Orange Flavored Craisins (use only half for the cookies, and eat the other half while the cookies bake)
1 Egg
1 Stick butter
1 TBSP water
Mix according to package directions, add in Craisins. Bake according to package directions.
Cool on your cookie cooling rack. Eat several at one sitting.
Better yet, substitute your breakfast with a few. I did.
Thanks, Mir, for the recipe!
